Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Location.Gnss.NmeaProcessor 1.15.0

Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Location.Gnss.NmeaProcessor

GNSS NMEA parsing library

The NmeaProcessor library is included in the Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Location.Gnss.NmeaProcessor nuget package and is designed for the Wilderness Labs Meadow .NET IoT platform.

This driver is part of the Meadow.Foundation peripherals library, an open-source repository of drivers and libraries that streamline and simplify adding hardware to your C# .NET Meadow IoT applications.

For more information on developing for Meadow, visit developer.wildernesslabs.co.

Installation

You can install the library from within Visual studio using the the NuGet Package Manager or from the command line using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Location.Gnss.NmeaProcessor
