Using this for a wind sensor.

[dreeas]

Hi Thomas,

I have a project with a wind sensor that outputs nmea that I would like to post directly to a database.
Will your code work with nmea sentences for wind like the one below?
$IIMWV,305,R,000.74,M,A*15

Hey, Andreas. Thanks for your question. My library relies on the pynmea2 library to do the actual parsing of individual NMEA sentences. If the sentence type is not supported by pynmea2, it won't work. But if it is, I think it should work just fine! And good news! Looking briefly, I do see what looks like support for IIMWV sentences in pynmea2. I'd say give it a whirl and see what happens. Maybe try outputting to a CSV file first since that is a simpler operation. If you run into problems, please open an issue here.
