NMEA , request for real live sample

Dear All ...
Is there any easier to understand sample of ruby nmea parser (
http://rubyforge.org/proj... ) ??

I need to parse NMEA , and re format it to YAML.
I tried to :

---START---
require 'serialport'
require 'nmea'
@sp = SerialPort.open("/dev/ttyS1", 4800, 8, 1,
SerialPort::NONE)
@handler = NMEAHandler.new
while(@sentence = @sp.gets) do
puts NMEA.scan(@sentence, @handler)
end
---STOP---

but it only print "nil"

I thought that my system is not well wired, so I make a test using
miniterm.rb from the serialport library, and here is the result
---start---
[root@kannel test]# ruby ./miniterm.rb 1 4800 8 1
$GPRMC,135444,A,3815.4477,N,02349.5804,E,10412.9,243.3,090507,5,E,A*B
$GPRMC,135446,A,3810.5221,N,02344.4003,E,11501.1,219.6,090507,5,E,A*B
$GPRMC,135448,A,3803.9503,N,02341.4152,E,12561.9,199.7,090507,5,E,A*B
---stop----

Note : My test system is
1. GPS Feed : Using a PC running GPSFeed+
2. Ruby on the other Linux PC
3. The two PC is connected via a null-modem cable.

Sincerely
-bino-

You see, this NMEA sentence differ from what I assumed to be standard.
There is unknown checksum in the end. I can modify parser so, that it
would
accept such unnatural sentences, but it is very, very strange for me.
What GPS device do You use? I wish to look at it documentation, perhaps
I've missed something in standart.


Regarding NMEA.scan, it will never return anything. It can only call
method
rmc on NMEAHandler.

It's not "real GPS" ...
It's a windows pc running gpsfeed software from -->
http://sourceforge.net/projec...
From my table, I can not get GPS signal .. thats why i use such "emulator"

Understand. According to
http://www.werple.net.au/~gnb/gps/nmea...., this software
violates standard, that is why it was not parsed.

Now it is parseable, but checksum correction is disabled.

Maybe a script that print out each variables ?

Thanks in advance

require 'test/mocks'

class NMEAHandler
def rmc(*args)
puts args.inspect
end
end


You will not receive anything, unless NMEA handler locate Latitude
class, so You should include mocks.rb, unless You have anything better.

Dear Max.
Thanks for the response
First I make a subdirs inside ruby lib , with the name "nmea"
And make a copy of your mocks.rb into it

I try this :
---Start---
require 'serialport'
require 'nmea'
require 'nmea/mocks'
class NMEAHandler
def rmc(*args)
puts args.inspect
end
end
@sp = SerialPort.open("/dev/ttyS1", 4800, 8, 1, SerialPort::NONE)
@handler = NMEAHandler.new
while(@sentence = @sp.gets) do
@handler.rmc(@sentence)
end
---Stop----

And it produced :
["$GPRMC,134632,A,0004.3300,N,00004.3300,W,005.0,315.0,100507,000.0,W*76\r\n"]

Kindly please show me how to ... i.e "puts" just a single "latitude".

Sincerely
-bino-

Look at the test/mocks.rb

class NMEAHandler
def rmc(time, latitude, longitude, speed, course, magnetic_variation)
.

thus You can get latitude
