Garmin plotter crashes nmea communication

[rmvdmrl]

Hi Sean,

I modified nmea.py with this:

if line[1:6] == 'APAPB' and time.time() - self.last_apb_time > 1:
            self.last_apb_time = time.time()
            data = line[7:len(line)-3].split(',')
            if self.last_values['ap.enabled']:
                mode = 'compass' if data[13] == 'M' else 'gps'
                if self.last_values['ap.mode'] != mode:
                    self.client.set('ap.mode', mode)
            try:
               command = float(data[12])
               xte = float(data[2])
               xte = min(xte, 0.15) # maximum 0.15 miles
               if data[3] == 'L':
                   xte = -xte
               command += 300*xte; # 30 degrees for 1/10th mile
               if abs(self.last_values['ap.heading_command'] - command) > .1:
                   self.client.set('ap.heading_command', command)
            except: return False
            return True
        elif line[1:6] == 'GPAPB' and time.time() - self.last_apb_time > 1:
            self.last_apb_time = time.time()
            data = line[7:len(line)-3].split(',')
            if self.last_values['ap.enabled'] and self.last_values['ap.mode'] == 'gps':
               try: 
                  command = float(data[12])
                  xte = float(data[2])
                  xte = min(xte, 0.15) # maximum 0.15 miles
                  if data[3] == 'L':
                      xte = -xte
                  command += 300*xte; # 30 degrees for 1/10th mile
                  if abs(self.last_values['ap.heading_command'] - command) > .1:
                      self.client.set('ap.heading_command', command)
                  return True
               except: return False 
        return False

tested it and nmea communication doesn't crash anymore. i can select other modes when i have an active waypoint so it seems to work. I just haven't done actual navigating to a waypoint as the wheather is not good today. It is stil a bit unclear to me what would be the easyest/correct procedure to get it in the squashed filesystem but eventualy i got it in there.

Greetings Rob
