Currently, GPredict tracks a satellite and sends commands only using direct astronomical value.
For example, when a satellite crosses 360°, it will go back to 0° and flip the rotator 360° even though it can go further until 450° and prevent this flip. SatDump for example supports this.
Another example is the Flip method used by SatNOGS to flip the rotator over 90° and prevent the Az control to go too fast for high passes over 70°.
It would be great for GPredict to benefits from rotator that can go beyond 360° in Az and 90° in El to prevent go-arounds and flip values if possible.
