Remarks

To use the NMEA Parser against a serial device in a Windows 10 Universal app, ensure the serial device capability is enabled by opening package.appxmanifest in a text editor, and add the following to the <Capabilities> section:

<DeviceCapability Name="serialcommunication"> 
  <Device Id="any">
    <Function Type="name:serialPort" /> 
  </Device> 
</DeviceCapability>

var selector = SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelector("COM3"); //Get the serial port on port '3'
var devices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(selector);
if(devices.Any()) //if the device is found
{
	var deviceInfo = devices.First();
    var serialDevice = await SerialDevice.FromIdAsync(deviceInfo.Id);
    //Set up serial device according to device specifications:
    //This might differ from device to device
    serialDevice.BaudRate = 4800;
	serialDevice.DataBits = 8;
	serialDevice.Parity = SerialParity.None;
	var device = new NmeaParser.SerialPortDevice(serialDevice);
    device.MessageReceived += device_NmeaMessageReceived;
}
...
private void device_NmeaMessageReceived(NmeaParser.NmeaDevice sender, NmeaMessageReceivedEventArgs args)
{
    // called when a message is received
}

Constructors

Name	Description
WinRTSerialDevice(SerialDevice)	Initializes a new instance of the SerialPortDevice class.

Properties

Name	Description
CanWrite	Gets a value indicating whether this device supports writing
SerialDevice	Gets the active serial port.

Methods

Name	Description
CloseStreamAsync(Stream)	Closes the stream the NmeaDevice is working on top off.
GetSerialDevicesAsync()	Gets a list of serial devices available.
OpenStreamAsync()	Creates and opens the stream the NmeaDevice is working on top off.
Write(byte[], int, int)	Writes data to the serial port (useful for RTCM/dGPS scenarios)
WriteAsync(byte[], int, int)	Writes to the device stream. Useful for transmitting RTCM corrections to the device Check the CanWrite property before calling this method.
