I have been able to edit the kplex.conf file directly to include this type, and it shows up on the list of NMEA devices, but if I double click on it and then close, OP eliminates it from the list.
I'm trying to implement a way to convert an incoming non-checksummed NMEA string to something with a checksum. First step for me is to implement either a file or a named pipe as an output from kplex. Since it appears that it isn't persistent, I can't go much farther on that path using Openplotter.
Allowing this might also provide a means of doing NMEA logging.
Another one which would be a small flow for node-red, I actually have a old wind sensor which I fed through an arduino to calculate a correct checksum.
If only I could figure out how to send NMEA sentences from node-red to kplex..............
