Summary
NMEASimulator is an easy to use NMEA data sentence generator, ideal for quickly and simply producing a data stream for your connected NMEA devices.
Mimics Vessel movement, GPS fix information as well as environmental information such as Wind speed / direction and Water temperature / depth. It also provides the ability to generate waypoint information by "marking" the current position.
NMEASimulator generates NMEA sentences from seed data which you provide, applies a variance to mimic vessel movement, and then transmits these sentences via TCP/IP to connected devices.
Features:
- Transmit messages over Serial, TCP or Web Socket (for use with browser clients)
- Can operate in both TCP server (to accept client connections) or TCP client (sends data stream to a server) modes.
- Manual control of values and GPS fix status
User definable seed data includes:
- Vessel: starting position, speed & heading
- Wind: speed & direction
- Water: temperature and depth
