Hi All
as part of a research project I need to read the live wind data from a GILL windsonic anemometer.
I have made the serial connection between the device and computer and have set it up to communicate with vvvv.
mostly it works fine, but some times I do not receive a complete message in one frame and so the message gets split up.
Knowing start and end characters I would like to reassemble the messages based on what is between the start and end characters. Something a bit the opposite of Separate (String).
Or alternatively something that joins all slices before the ones containing
I know I could probably do something with sift and + spectral, but a node that does this would be cool.
What I get from the anemometer looks like this:
Q, 229, 002.74, M, 00, 16
or:
= Start of string character (ASCII value 2)
WindSonic node address = Unit identifier
Wind direction = Wind Direction
Wind speed = Wind Speed
Units = Units of measure (knots, m/s etc)
Status = Anemometer status code (see Section 11.5
for further details)
= End of string character (ASCII value 3)
Checksum = This is the EXCLUSIVE – OR of the bytes
between (and not including) the
and characters.
