This is just a simple snippet that uses Tk::Zinc's radar display widgets, a socket connection, and a Tk compass to remote control a drone plane. It is only tested for rudimentary steering, but someone may find some useful code in here. First start the radar screen, then start the controller. Dragging the clock hand on the controller will steer the plane.
