squidpickles / ais Goto Github PK

Similar to Type 5 report; see #3

Hello @squidpickles 👋,
I'm the community lead of the AeroRust community and one of the co-founders.
I've recently landed your crate for parsing AIS messages and I wanted to let you know that we are making efforts to develop an NMEA 0183 crate that is feature rich for Rust.
I think AIS messages can be very beneficial to the overall messages that the crate can parse.

Would you be interested to take the AIS parsing and integrate it to the NMEA crate?

Also, you can come join the community in Discord if you're interested in robotics and aerospace or you want to discuss this idea.

Regards,
Lachezar

Ps: I see there is binary data field that uses a Vec, do you know if there is a limit to it, as we support no_std and this is one aspect we should alter to fit NMEA.

An example NMEA message with tag block might be

\s:2573435,c:1699169531*03\!BSVDM,1,1,,B,13md`u0P00PoLB4V`C8=;wvF24r0,0*0F

It would be nice to parse these, rather than just ignoring them (or worse, erroring)

Nice to get away from big scary macros, and keep our dependencies modern

Some thought will need to go into optimal buffer sizes given multi-part messages, and I would want to look at a better way of building up character data, but this seems doable given demand.
