rotorman
rotorman is a python program using the QT toolkit which controls a
rotor using the Python rigcontrol library I wrote.
download
install
you might want to follow the rigcontrol installations here, but here is a short version:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-qt4
sudo easy_install rigcontrol
- configure ~/.rigcontrol/rotor.xml
operation
- run rotorman and it polls the rotor once per second
- click pause and type or adjust the angle with the up/down arrows, then click rotate
- it won't rotate less than 5 degrees from current reading
bugs
- sometimes it doesn't read the rotor the first time.
- you can still click the up/down arrows when it's not paused, but the angle changes back swiftly.
