  4. NEMA 3.01 & FSUIPC?

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Yes but it will have to be an INI file option setting because I would be wary of upsetting all the other programs and devices it works with as it is.

    Pete

    An INI file option setting would be great Pete. Please let me know when I can test it this option with FSX. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my rants. Can you send the update to me when its ready to jcar@hvision.biz ? I am a registered user of FSUIPC4

    This is the test I ran with NMEAtalker http://www.sailsoft.nl/NemaTalker.htm and confirmed that the Apple Core location API passed the information for heading and course to the location aware applications on the iPad by adding the letter S in the $GPRMC sentence. These are the definition's for the different modes. Can you add this letter S to the $GPRMC sentence and let me beta test for proper operation?

    Positioning system Mode Indicator:

    A = Autonomous mode

    D = Differential mode

    E = Estimated (dead reckoning) mode

    M = Manual input mode

    S = Simulator mode

    N = Data not valid

    Further definitions of the Modes

    In NMEA 2.3, several sentences (APB, BWC, BWR, GLL, RMA, RMB, RMC, VTG, WCV, and XTE) got a new last field carrying the signal integrity information needed by the FAA. (The values in the GGA mode field were extended to carry this information as well.) Here are the values:

    FAA Mode Indicator A = Autonomous mode D = Differential Mode E = Estimated (dead-reckoning) mode M = Manual Input Mode S = Simulated Mode N = Data Not Valid

    This field may be empty. In pre-2.3 versions it is omitted.

    $--RMC,hhmmss.ss,A,llll.ll,a,yyyyy.yy,a,x.x,x.x,xxxxxx,x.x,a,a*hh<CR><LF>

    hhmmss.ss = UTC of position fix

    A = Status (A = data valid; V = warning)

    llll.ll = Latitude

    a = N/S

    yyyyy.yy = Longitude

    a = E/W

    x.x = Speed over ground, knots

    x.x = Course over ground, degrees true

    xxxxxx = Date ddmmyy

    x.x = Magnetic variation (degrees)

    a = E/W

    a = Mode

    Apparently that sentence changed in some respect between the 2.1 and 3.01 versions of the NMEA spec. I do not know the exact differences.

    Apple only uses the GPGGA and GPRMC sentences, All I know there is a slight difference between the specs and if the sentence is not formatted correctly the Apple Location API will not read the data.

    Pete so the sentence is formatted like this?

    $--RMC,hhmmss.ss,A,llll.ll,a,yyyyy.yy,a,x.x,x.x,xxxxxx,x.x,a,a*hh<CR><LF>

    hhmmss.ss = UTC of position fix

    A = Status (A = data valid; V = warning)

    llll.ll = Latitude

    a = N/S

    yyyyy.yy = Longitude

    a = E/W

    x.x = Speed over ground, knots

    x.x = Course over ground, degrees true

    xxxxxx = Date ddmmyy

    x.x = Magnetic variation (degrees)

    a = E/W

    a = Mode

    this link will show you version 1,2,3,4 http://aprs.gids.nl/nmea/#rmc if you can go to http://gpssimcable.com/contact/ and please tell me were to send the cable. Please confirm version 3 and 4 I would like to test the fix as soon as possible to confirm that it works. What data is missing is course, heading, speed. This will confirm that it is sending data properly to the Apple Core location API. This cable will work with any location aware applications and over rides the internal GPS on the IPAD. Also the sentence must be formatted with the spec above. Thank you greatly.

    I've no idea what "NEMA" is, but FSUIPC4's GPS facility already supports the NMEA RMC sentence, as does its predecessor GPSout.DLL. Regards Pete

    Please excuse my miss spelling of NMEA. FSUIPC4 does not support $GPRMC as it relates to NMEA version 3.01 sentence in NMEA as stated in my last post. In version NMEA 3.01 they added additional information that FSUIPC4 does not support. All I am asking that you look of adding this extra information in the NMEA sentence so that the Apple core location API can translate the heading and course information properly. As you can see the specs below added additional data to the $GPRMC sentence since NMEA version 1.5 and 2.0 I can send you a cable to test out if you wish with your Ipad or iphone so you can get a better understanding of what I am trying to tell you.

    Peter could you please add support for NEMA 3.01 to FSUIPC? There is one NEMA sentence that is missing from FSUIPC that will support Apple core location API that is needed to compute course , speed and heading correctly. The sentence that is missing is $GPRMC from NEMA 3.01. The reason I ask is that I have a cable that I am selling with FSUIPC to enable FSX users to use there Garmin Pilot or Foreflight Ipad application on there Ipad along with there geo referenced charts. Currently FSUIPC is sending the correct lat, long and altitude but not course, speed, heading. if you could add the $GPRMC then that will be corrected. Here is a video demo of garmin pilot with X-plane

    will post video with FSUIPC soon. Here is a link to the current NEMA specs. http://aprs.gids.nl/nmea/#rmc
