Basic Rotctld Web GUI

This Flask application was forked off 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.

Dependencies

• Python (3.x)
• Python Modules: flask, flask-socketio (can obtain using pip)

Configuration file

Uses a configuration file to specify rotors to connect to. Example:

[ROTOR1]
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.

Usage:

• 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:
