Feature Additions? #47

Closed Beard81 closed 1 year ago

Beard81 commented 2 years ago

I love your program, but I'm hoping you can add a couple features;

  1. Can you add the ability to output NMEA data on different COM/TCP/UDP ports? I'm simulating to a device that receives data via different inputs.
  2. Can you add the option to manually enter a NMEA sentence? I have some proprietary messages I'd like to output.
  3. I noticed when I choose UDP port there is no option for entering the Multicast IP Address. Can this be added?

Also, could you add TTM and VBW sentence IDs?

Thanks!

By this do you mean more than one channel simultaneously? i.e. nmea stream is transmitted on both COM5 and TCP port 3100

I will add this to the backlog.

Multicast is not currently supported. I will add to the backlog.

I have no problem including the VBW sentence in future. As for TTM I will consider this, the implementation needs to be meaningful and will require more effort.

Yes exactly, or multiple com ports.

Thank you, TTM is a nice to have for my simulations...

Hi, just wondering if you are still planning to perform the enhancements mentioned above. Happy Holidays.

panaaj commented 1 year ago

Yes I am... just very time poor at the moment. Hopefully in the next week.

Found some time today and created v1.4.2 release which addresses support for manually adding NMEA sentences and emitting VBW sentence. Something is better than nothing I hope!

Multicast support will not happen for a while... sorry...... it's still on the list though.

That's great, thank you for addressing this. I look forward to playing around with it when I'm back from vacation!

Multicast is supported in v1.6.0
