NMEA (GPS protocol) parser

Ruby
1

I want to introduce parser for NMEA protocol, which is used by GPS
devices to tell geographic coordinates.

Gem is called nmea, available at www.rubyforge.org/projects/nmea.
SVN repository is accessible at http://svn.maxidoors.ru/ruby-nmea

Currently are supported sentences RMC, GLL, GSA ,GGA, GSV, VTG, PSRFTXT.
Ragel (NameBright - Coming Soon) is used to parse NMEA.

That brings back some memories. My very first programming job was
parsing NMEA in PIC assembler :slight_smile:

As soon, as they will be 2.0 GHz with 1Gb ram onboard, small as one coin

Oh no, embedded bloatware!
lol

Mind you, anyone who’s played with WinCE already knows what that’s
like…
