The code is in C and Silabs has small dev kits (Toolsticks) that cost $10 to
which you need to add $18 for the programming dongle. A little more expensive
than an Arduino, or less, depending on where you buy it...
To that you need to add a MAX232 (or two serial-TTL adapters at $4 each or so
on
Tim,
It shouldn't be too hard to modify the code for my Thunderbolt monitor to make
it into a TSIP-NMEA converter. The last version of the kit has a uC with two
serial ports. I m out of the kits at the moment but I have a few spare boards
left over.
Don't have time to write the code at the

Hi Didier,
Is the code in C? If so I bet it would run on some development board. No
need to make custom PCBs.

I'll second that. I had a sailboat a while back with about 1/2 dozen NMEA
devices off all kinds (GPS, Water speed sensors, Wd speed and direction,
magnetic compass and so on). All feeding the nav system. NMEA was
designed for marine navigation networks.
Th spec is really poor for timing in

Hi Didier,
I' building a multi frequency beacon based on QRP-labs U3
What NMEA sentences does this device accept? It would not be hard to make
a small uP device like say an Arduino that would output those NMEA
sentences using data it gets from the TB.The data rate is very slow so
even the smallest uP would work. None of this NMEA stuff is very time
critical

Hi Tim,
probably not the answer you are looking for, because it's a piece of
software and not a device, and it doesn't output NMEA, but maybe it can
still be of some help

Hi all,
Is there a way to get NMEA instead of TSIP out of a Thunderbolt ?
Failing that, is there some translating device that I can insert between
the Thunderbolt and another device that is expecting NMEA ?
thanks
