Having just been through the endian issue with a similar parser, I'll mention that in Python the struct.unpack() function can handle endian swaps at tne same time as it pulls binary data out of the message.  It makes it pretty painless. On Jul 13, 2019, 11:08 PM, at 11:08 PM, Mark Sims wrote:

Hi One alternative, if you only need two lines is to write a parser just for them. There’s not a whole lot to the protocol and the uBlox doc’s are pretty good at describing it. Yes, it’s a binary protocol so there will be a bit of this and that involved. Bob > On Jul 13, 2019, at 5:16 PM,
