Let's get rid of NMEA
Poit wrote in
00.119: I would like to see the community come up with an open standard that would kill off NMEA. It could stay purely ascii, be bi-directional, easy to use, no binary mumbo-jumbo. It could be extensible like XML. Best of all it would be free for everyone including manufacturers. ---- Posted via Pronews.com - Premium Corporate Usenet News Provider ---- http://www.pronews.com offers corporate packages that have access to 100,000+ newsgroups We've had one for years. It's called TCP/IP and I'm using it to send you this message. Every instrument SHOULD be placed on a STANDARD Ethernet bus controlled by a DHCP-enabled router...with wifi would also be nice. You'll never see it as long as naive boaters will pay through the nose for NMEA's archaic nonsense. You'd have to get them to stop BUYING NMEA's member's products to get their attention. That won't happen. The cheapest of off-the-shelf routers creates 65,535 ports on each instrument and will already handle up to 256 instruments, simultaneously without all this 4800 baud nonsense with one talker. It's time to move on... |
