Great work on OP, very excited to see where it goes in the coming years.
Are there any plans for a NMEA parser/converter built directly into OP same as the OpenCPN plugin?
https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/doku.p..._converter
As an example I have an old DataMarine depth sounder that is not outputting a checksum:
$IIDPT,2.1,0.0
$IIDBT,7.1,f,2.1,M,1.1,F
A work-around is to disable force checksum in OpenCPN but this doesn't work for other applications on my local NMEA0183 network.
Another benefit is to parse sentences from proprietary sources. (Ie. ComNav autopilot rudder position which is buried in a long proprietary sentience)
