This Flask application was forked from https://github.com/bjorgan/rotctld-web-gui which was forked from https://github.com/darksidelemm/rotctld-web-gui (Mark Jessop, 2018-07-07), with the intention of adding support for multiple rotors and adapting it for the use at the LA1K club station (https://github.com/bjorgan/rotctld-web-gui)
Changed to add the visual dial and tweak the behavior for use in the !WIRED Lab.
The app is intended to be easy to use from a mobile browser, e.g. from on the roof. Better desktop styling help wanted!
- Python (3.x)
- Python Modules: flask, flask-socketio (can obtain using pip)
Uses a configuration file to specify rotors to connect to. Example:
[ROTOR1]
rotctld_host=10.42.0.100
rotctld_port=4533
[ROTOR2]
rotctld_port=4535
[ROTOR3]
rotctld_port=4537
Tries by default to look it up in /usr/local/etc/rotors.conf, should otherwise
be specified by argument --config-file=PATH. See --help.
Uses the same configuration file format as the system specified in https://www.la1k.no/2017/09/15/unified-software-rotor-control-over-the-local-network/, https://github.com/la1k/rotorconfig.
- Start rotctld (refer rotctld documentation)
python rotatorgui.py- Navigate to http://localhost:5001/ (or equivalent IP)
Run python rotatorgui.py --help for command line options:
