... pipe a NMEA Script from Garmin GND10 using FDX -> NMEA into openplotter

[ygageot]

ygageot have you written a tool for OP? that is amazing, if you want to add this tool to the source please guide me to do it because I know nothing about fdxread or GND10
Maybe you can push the code to github?

fdxread is a GitHub project from Lasse Karstensen.

The goal of the software is to connect and parse the private Nexus network protocol called FDX.
This protocol was used for Silva -> Nexus -> Garmin NX and NX2 equipments.
NX Wind, NX server, NX sea, gWind,...

Lasse try to connect Garmin GND10, equipment connected to FDX Network bus but with an USB port with FDX protocol.
In my case I try, without GND10 equipment to connect directly my RPI3 with a RS485 interface to integrate data from wind, depth, loch with Lasse parser.

The Lasse software is in development because it is very difficult to discover an unknown binary & private protocol.

I developed quickly a first tool version to integrate FDX.

I need to have a better tool with stop.

I dont know if it is better to have a configuration file with only one simple parameter "input" with a default /dev/ttyOP_FDX or to oblige to use only name /dev/ttyOP_FDX for the USB port without configuration ???

When it will be more stable, I will push the module.

Future : It can be useful to have a global GUI panel to choose effective external tools
