Connecting NMEA Wind data from NASA Clipper

[PaddyB]

Thanks Paddy,

I have used node red before to test the different "endings" \r , \n, $ etc. and then with the correct setting for NASA (\r) , seen the stream in the debug window...nice and clean. I guess that you are saying that i can send that stream i see back to KLPEX?

Yep, you can send it back using UDP after adding a LF. This seems to work, I made a NMEA sentence with just a new line (\n) then sent it to openplotter/kplex. Wasn't accepted so stripped the new line and added a linefeed & newline and it is accepted. 
 -   msg.payload = msg.payload.trim() + "\r\n";

Copy this code  then in node red press cntrl "i" to insert. Then you need to add a KPLEX UDP input set to 10.10.10.1 port 10111 (or change the port if you want in node red.) Then connect the serial input to this function node/UDP output node and it should fix the missing line feed. Hopefully!
