Not sure I understand   your  question?     I can use wifi  to control  my  discovery  dish pointing......  

[Stephen Arbogast]

I have been using  USB cable for   years   and  would  like to  get away  from it.

[Stephen Arbogast]

My   small  Discovery  Dish  is now  going to   be  controlled  by  software   via  Discovery   Drive.   I have  not  tested  this..  looking  forward  to testing  .. hope  it  works.

I just  ordered the  new Discovery Drive.

Maybe  people  like  Alex  Pettit    can  test  this  for  us with his  lab.... how  accurate  and stable is  it?

Hi, Stephen.

Great News!

I'll order mine soon, It won't help with my 2.4 m dish but should be fine for smaller 2nd WiFi grid dish setup that I'll move to a no RFI location soon.

Thanks.

I am   running  on   Ubuntu 24.4.04   on  AMD.  I have  checked  my kernel drivers for   wifi...     I   am  missing the driver    and   I don't  want  to take  any chances  installing  the  suggested  driver in  my kernel  while    I am playing/testing my  GNU Radio  experiments.
