# NMEA Parser Implementation - RFC-041

## Overview

Implemented comprehensive NMEA 0183 sentence parsing and AIS message decoding for the fishinfo Python SDK. This implementation adds real-time telemetry ingestion capabilities from maritime sensors and AIS transponders.

## Implementation Location

`sdk/python/fishinfo/src/fishinfo/nmea/`

## Modules Implemented

### 1. **checksum.py** - Checksum Validation
- `calculate_checksum()` - Calculate NMEA checksum
- `validate_checksum()` - Validate sentence checksum
- `extract_checksum()` - Extract checksum from sentence
- `add_checksum()` - Add checksum to sentence
- Supports both $ (NMEA) and ! (AIS) prefixes

### 2. **sentences.py** - NMEA Sentence Data Classes
Dataclasses for all supported sentence types:
- **GGASentence** - GPS Fix Data (position, altitude, quality)
- **RMCSentence** - Recommended Minimum (position, speed, course, date)
- **VTGSentence** - Course Over Ground and Ground Speed
- **HDTSentence** - Heading True
- **HDGSentence** - Heading Magnetic with deviation/variation
- **DBTSentence** - Depth Below Transducer
- **DPTSentence** - Depth with offset
- **MWVSentence** - Wind Speed and Angle
- **MTWSentence** - Water Temperature

Helper functions:
- `parse_latitude()` / `parse_longitude()` - Convert NMEA coordinates to decimal degrees
- `parse_time()` - Parse NMEA time/date to datetime
- `parse_float()` / `parse_int()` - Safe parsing with None handling

### 3. **parser.py** - Main NMEA Parser
- `NMEAParser` class with configurable checksum validation
- Parses all supported sentence types
- Automatic talker ID handling (GP, GL, GA, HE, SD, WI, YX, etc.)
- Robust error handling with ValidationError exceptions
- Whitespace and line ending tolerant

### 4. **ais.py** - AIS Message Decoder
- `AISDecoder` class for AIS message decoding
- Supports message types:
  - **Type 1-3**: Position reports (Class A)
  - **Type 5**: Static and voyage data
- Multi-part message reassembly
- Dataclasses:
  - `AISPositionReport` - Position, speed, course, heading, ROT
  - `AISStaticData` - Vessel name, call sign, dimensions, IMO, destination
- Navigation status enum
- 6-bit ASCII payload decoding
- Two's complement signed integer extraction

### 5. **converter.py** - TelemetryPoint Converter
- `NMEAConverter` class converts parsed sentences to TelemetryPoint objects
- Maps NMEA sentence types to DataType enum values:
  - GGA → POSITION
  - RMC → POSITION + SPEED + COURSE (multiple points)
  - VTG → SPEED + COURSE
  - HDT/HDG → HEADING
  - DBT/DPT → DEPTH
  - MWV → WIND_SPEED + WIND_DIRECTION
  - MTW → WATER_TEMPERATURE
  - AIS → AIS + SPEED + COURSE + HEADING + RATE_OF_TURN
- Unit conversions (knots to knots, km/h to m/s, feet to meters, etc.)
- Metadata preservation (units, reference frames, MMSI, etc.)
- Timestamp override support

### 6. **serial.py** - Serial Port Reader
- `NMEASerialReader` - Asynchronous serial port reader
  - Context manager support (`async with`)
  - Line-buffered sentence reading
  - Automatic NMEA and AIS parsing
  - Invalid sentence skipping
  - Real-time TelemetryPoint streaming
- `NMEASerialBatcher` - Batching helper
  - Automatic batch size and interval flushing
  - Integration with fishinfo Client

### 7. **__init__.py** - Public API
Exports all public classes and functions for easy import:
```python
from fishinfo.nmea import (
    NMEAParser,
    AISDecoder,
    NMEAConverter,
    NMEASerialReader,
    NMEASerialBatcher,
)
```

## Usage Examples

### Basic NMEA Parsing
```python
from fishinfo.nmea import NMEAParser

parser = NMEAParser()
sentence = parser.parse("$GPGGA,123519,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,1,08,0.9,545.4,M,47.0,M,,*47")
print(f"Position: {sentence.latitude}, {sentence.longitude}")
```

### AIS Decoding
```python
from fishinfo.nmea import AISDecoder

decoder = AISDecoder()
msg = decoder.decode("!AIVDM,1,1,,B,13u@Dp0P00PlT>HMGN4?vhR00<02,0*66")
print(f"MMSI: {msg.mmsi}, Position: {msg.latitude}, {msg.longitude}")
```

### NMEA to TelemetryPoint Conversion
```python
from uuid import UUID
from fishinfo.nmea import NMEAParser, NMEAConverter

parser = NMEAParser()
converter = NMEAConverter(
    vessel_id=UUID("12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc"),
    tenant_id=UUID("87654321-4321-4321-4321-cba987654321"),
)

sentence = parser.parse("$GPGGA,123519,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,1,08,0.9,545.4,M,47.0,M,,*47")
point = converter.to_telemetry_point(sentence)
print(f"DataType: {point.data_type}, Quality: {point.quality}")
```

### Real-time Serial Port Reading
```python
from fishinfo import Client, Config
from fishinfo.nmea import NMEASerialReader, NMEAConverter

# Setup converter
converter = NMEAConverter(
    vessel_id=UUID("vessel-id"),
    tenant_id=UUID("tenant-id"),
)

# Stream from serial port
async with NMEASerialReader("/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=4800, converter=converter) as reader:
    async with Client(Config(...)) as client:
        async for point in reader.stream():
            await client.send(point)
```

### Batched Serial Reading
```python
from fishinfo import Client, Config
from fishinfo.nmea import NMEASerialReader, NMEAConverter, NMEASerialBatcher

client = Client(Config(...))
converter = NMEAConverter(vessel_id=..., tenant_id=...)
reader = NMEASerialReader("/dev/ttyUSB0", converter=converter)

batcher = NMEASerialBatcher(reader, batch_size=100, flush_interval=5.0)
await batcher.run(client)
```

## Architecture Integration

The NMEA parser integrates seamlessly with the existing fishinfo SDK:

1. **Types**: Uses existing `TelemetryPoint` and `DataType` from `fishinfo.types`
2. **Exceptions**: Uses existing `ValidationError` and `ConnectionError` from `fishinfo.exceptions`
3. **Client**: Compatible with existing `Client` and `BatchingClient`
4. **Buffer**: Can feed into existing offline buffer system

## Future Enhancements

Potential additions for future RFCs:
- NMEA 2000 (PGN) support
- Additional sentence types (ZDA, GLL, GSA, GSV, etc.)
- AIS message types 6-27
- Sentence filtering by type
- Sentence validation levels (strict/permissive)
- Performance metrics and statistics
- TCP/UDP network sources
- File replay capabilities
