Re: [gpsd-dev] Scaled AIS JSON messages...

Hallo,

 

i hopefully scale them from the nmea2000 to the AIS scale.

The conversion from double to int should be a job of the compiler.

 

The JSON output of gpsd seems to be correct, and i have no idea at the moment, how to handle the AIS special values.

 

But i push this version as soon as possible, so that we have a base for a discussion.

 

I think, the nmea2000 people had to decide, to be consistent with their own scale factors in the other messages, or switch for AIS to the AIS factors.

I just had a quick look at your code in driver_nmea.c, and I noticed

that you're filling the AIS structure with double values. This is wrong

you should fill the structure with raw (unscaled, integer) values.

If you need help, let me know, i'll be happy to contribute.
