HotPaw Basic vs NMEAconnect Usage & Stats
Calling all early-personal-computing fans, remember typing Basic programs into your home computer? HotPaw Basic recreates the retro-experience of a text-mode Basic interpreter, and it runs right on your iPhone or iPad.
You can also use HotPaw Basic as a programmable calculator, or for displaying simple line graphics.
The HotPaw Basic interpreter supports the minimal Basic language, including:
Commands:
let if then else endif dim data read restore
for to step next while wend goto gosub return
? print input open close end stop mat
run new list del save load dir cls rem
Functions:
int() abs() sgn() rnd()
sqr() exp() log() log10() sin() cos() tan() atn()
len() val() asc() str$() chr$() hex$() mid$()
timer() date$ time$ pi
Operators:
+ - * / mod ^ = and or xor not
Also includes new command and functions to support line graphics, Morse Code audio, FFT analysis, GPS location, MQTT and BTLE communications.
Line numbers are required. Type in the text of your program and type "run" to run them.
See: http://www.hotpaw.com/rhn/basic/iphone/ for a more complete description of the Basic language syntax, commands and functions which this Basic interpreter supports.

NMEAconnect can connect to almost any NMEA source using TCP/UDP, BLE, internal/external GPS, Simulation or Logfile and act as an NMEA server/bridge due TCP/UDP.
With NMEAconnect you have:
∙ support of NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, SignalK or MQTT data of almost any device
∙ a simple setup with preconfigured sources plus versatile configuration options
∙ all values ordered into clear 'Modules'
∙ a NMEA multiplexer, hub or switch
∙ a server/repeater to forward NMEA messages to other devices (some NMEA-WiFi gateways are accepting only one client)
∙ a server of the internal GPS Position as NMEA data to an external device
∙ a MQTT broker, client or gateway
∙ ‚unlimited‘ NMEA log (even when NMEAconnect is in background)
∙ nmeaconnect:// protocol to provide NMEA data e.g. to a Filemaker database
∙ background updates
∙ a visual indicator for NMEA activity
∙ Environments to handle different setups
∙ Message-Rules: Block, Gate Time and TalkerID for each NMEA sentence
