Greetings, I'm curious if there are any current ways to enable smooth acceleration on an antenna rotator with the hamlib library (for less jerky motion of the rig). Otherwise, are there any thoughts on whether or not this would be a useful feature to add for those with large, heavy rigs?

Thanks for that Nate! Do you think it could be a firmware problem, related to this? https://www.la1k.no/2018/03/21/hamlib-driver-for-spid-md-01-and-md-02/ In which case I would probably just need a firmware upgrade to 3.2 (which I see is released by you) Still having the problem - if anyone has ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings, My team is using the hamlib library to control our antenna rotator, connected to a large UHF antenna. Recently I've been having strange behavior where, once the connection is opened with the rotator, I am able to send ONE command to adjust Azimuth and Elevation; after this first command, no more can be sent until the connection is closed and reopened. Clearly this is an issue for actually tracking satellites. The connection with the rotator is opened using the following command: sudo rotctld...
