Hi,
I am trying to write a code that can receive a stream of NMEA sentences from my GPS via serial port, parse the sentence and write it as a different type of NMEA sentence to another serial port.
This is what I have so far:
My problem is that the parsed sentence is written as a continuous string, whilst I would like it to be written as a list like this:
$GPGGA,4425.8867,1929.045,S,02410.506,E,1,04,2.6,100.00,M,-33.9,M,0000*64
$GPGGA,4425.8867,1929.045,S,02410.506,E,1,04,2.6,100.00,M,-33.9,M,0000*64
$GPGGA,4425.8867,1929.045,S,02410.506,E,1,04,2.6,100.00,M,-33.9,M,0000*64

If I just write msg without the str I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File 'My DocumentsLiClipse WorkspaceNMEA converterproject.py', line 20, in <module>
ser.write(msg)
File 'Downloadspyserial-3.4serialserialwin32.py', line 308, in write
data = to_bytes(data)
File 'Downloadspyserial-3.4serialserialutil.py', line 66, in to_bytes
return bytes(bytearray(seq))
TypeError: 'GGA' object is not iterable
I'm pretty new to Python Can anyone please push me in the right direction here? Would be much appreciated.

Yes, in the future, post your questions under the proper forum heading. This will increase your chances for a speedier reply.
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Problem?

NMEA

While storm chasing (or any other application, but this is about Storm Chasing) you use a USB BU-353S4 or other usb based GPS that has NMEA output. You would like to use the new Windows Maps application or other Windows location based services or applications.

Solution:

Using GpsGate Splitter, we will capture the NMEA output. To do this, you will need to install GPSGate Splitter and get it working with your USB GPS device. To do so, you will need to figure out the COM Port your USB GPS is on. To find that, go to the Windows Device Manager.

To enter the Windows Device Manager in Windows 10, right click your start menu and go to Device Manager as pictured below:

Driver

Once in Device Manager, you should have a screen that looks like this. In my case, the COM port is COM5.

Once you know your COM port, it’s easy to setup GPS Gate

Once you know what your COM port is, start GPSGate Splitter (formerly client). Setup the input COM Port until you see GPS data with valid position like this. You must get a GPS data with valid position fix before you can get the sensor working.

Setting up output Virtual Com Port

The next step into getting this to work is to have a virtual com port output on GPSGate. Add a virtual COM Port if you do not have any. Once a virtual com port is added, it provides a permanent address for the GPSDirect to get its GPS Data.

For my computer, I am using COM 6 as the “permanent” address.

Download GPSDirect

Go to the GPSDirect download and download the evaluation. Run the exe file and you will find a screen that looks like this

Install the GPSDirect Driver. You will be presented with an options screen, choose your COM port and set it up like this
