+===== General Purpose Control UI =====
+For simple control applications not requiring feedback from the radio (pointing to a desired target in different coordinate systems, satellite tracking, tracking planetary bodies within the solar system, etc.) a general purpose [[bigdish_console|bigdish console]] program is available. This program requires that the dish client library is installed on the computer, and provides a browser-rendered control UI.

 Some ephemeris are available only in formats which are incompatible with gpredict. Programs to interpret a subset of these into the commands for the dish can be found here [[https://github.com/w1xm/BigDishTools/tree/main/simple_tracking_scripts|Bigdish tracking scripts and coordinate converters]] and can produce command files readable by [[https://github.com/w1xm/BigDishTools/blob/main/dish_client|WR66_run_pointing_file.py]]
+Satellite TLEs can aso be downloaded from Celestrak or imported from files to the [[bigdish_console|bigdish console]]. It will also accept pointing files of the same type as WR66_run_pointing_file.py.
