Re: [Xcsoar-devel] Further Vario Interfaces

[John W. <jwh...@bi...>]

Yep, many of the sentences, as far as receive is concerned, are part of
the basic Parser interface.  We allow for other devices specifically if
there will be ambiguities in NMEA sentences, and for working out what to
do for declarations and other sent data.

All of that code probably could do with a bit of scrutiny, I implemented
the B50 but it was a rush job, so there could be bugs.

Outside air temp is used for the new analysis page that does a temp
trace (convection height estimation) while-you-fly.  Neato, huh?

> Looking at the code, yes they are automatic.  This assumes that the private strings aren't ambiguous of course :-).  I guess, thinking back, that the cambridge bit is for declarations.  I've had a look at the B50 interface and there are a couple of the data conversions that don't look right though I may have had my crack head on as well :-).
