Supporting additional sentences

[elpiel]

There are multiple sentences that are still not implemented in the crate and this is a list of the remaining sentences that we can implement.

Some work has gone into supporting additional sentences - #51

Contributing

1. Write a comment - Please write a comment for the sentence(s) you'd like to implement and to be mentioned on the task to avoid duplicate implementations.
2. Implement each sentence alongside at least 1 test in its own module using the nom crate.
3. Open a PR 🎉

Tips for contributing

• We suggest you start with a single sentence per PR and get a sense of the NMEA 0183 crate and protocol
• If you have any questions, just open a Draft PR, so that we can provide you with feedback or answer your questions
• Checkout the GPSD project page for an example to use in your test (https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/NMEA.html) and any additional information for the given sentences
• Follow the information for the different versions of NMEA 0183 standard given in the GPSD project and implement the parsing for them

Sources

• https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/NMEA.html - sentence types in the list below have been taken from here, the gpsd project also includes examples for each sentence

Hello! I'd like to give AAM - Waypoint Arrival Alarm a shot.

[elpiel]

Hello! I'd like to give AAM - Waypoint Arrival Alarm a shot.

I'm adding you to the list AAM sentence then. Thank you for working on this!

[clemarescx]

I wrote 2 tests for BOD - Bearing - Waypoint to Waypoint (tests needed) and presumably fixed an error in BOD parsing, can I send the PR for review?

[elpiel]

Of course, you can. I will update the task and assign it to you.

[ekuinox]

Hello! I wanna try to implement parser for HDT sentence.

[elpiel]

Great to hear this @ekuinox , I'm adding you on this sentence them 😋

[ekuinox]

I'd like to work on ZDA and VHW. 😄

[elpiel]

I'd like to work on ZDA and VHW. smile

They are both yours 😋 have fun implementing them

[taavit]

I'd like to pick BWW, ZFO and ZTG.

Thank you for your interest to contribute to the nmea crate!
I have assigned those messages to you.

I'd like to pick DBS - Depth Below Surface.

[elpiel]

Thanks for your interest to contribute @rafiramadhana!
I'm assigning you to the sentence parsing 😋

[Tsuiban]

I'd like to take a swing at VWT (True wind speed and angle).

[elpiel]

Great to hear that @Tsuiban!
I've assigned you to the sentence

[elpiel]

@Tsuiban are you still interested in working on VWT sentence?

[mgrouch]

There is this list of sentences as json.
I think it could be just used to generate code of all parsers

https://github.com/SmartBoatInnovations/ha-smart0183/blob/main/custom_components/smart0183/Smart0183.json

[elpiel]

Thank you for sharing this resource @mgrouch!
Although we could generate the sentences from the JSON, it will rather be used as another source of information for sentences.

Writing these parsers and generating them from the JSON might take more time than what's worth.

What we still need to support is Rust Struct to NMEA sentence and the iterator based parser, as top priority right now

[zhrbrk]

Hello, I'd like to work on GST.

[elpiel]
