ASCII (NMEA) Protocol

For simple use, the Inertial Sense device supports ASCII based communications protocol, including several common GPS NMEA messages. The ASCII protocol is human readable from in a command line terminal but is less optimal than the binary protocol.

Communications Examples

The ASCII Communications Example Project demonstrates how to implement the ASCII (NMEA) protocol.

Packet Structure

The Inertial Sense ASCII protocol follows the standard NMEA 0183 message structure:

  • 1 byte – Start packet, always the $ byte (0x24)
  • n bytes (usually 4 or 5) – packet identifier
  • 1 byte – a comma (0x2C)
  • n bytes – comma separated list of data, i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6
  • 1 byte – checksum marker, always the * byte (0x2A)
  • 2 bytes – checksum in hex format (i.e. f5 or 0a), 0 padded if necessary and lowercase
  • 2 bytes – End packet, always carriage return and line feed (\r\n or 0x0D, 0x0A)

The packet checksum is an 8 bit integer and is calculated by calculating the exclusive OR of all bytes in between and not including the $ and * bytes. The packet checksum byte is converted to a 2 byte ASCII hex code, and left padded with 0 if necessary to ensure that it is always 2 bytes. The checksum is always lowercase hexadecimal characters. See NMEA 0183 message structure for more details. The NMEA string checksum is automatically computed and appended to string when using the InertialSense SDK serialPortWriteAscii function or can be generated using an online checksum calculator. For example: MTK NMEA checksum calculator

Persistent Messages

The persistent messages option saves the current data stream configuration to flash memory for use following reboot, eliminating the need to re-enable messages following a reset or power cycle.

Binary persistent messages are also available.

Enabling Persistent Messages - EvalTool

To enable persistent ASCII messages using the EvalTool:

  • Enable the desired ASCII messages in the EvalTool "Data Sets" tab. Select DID_ASCII_BCAST_PERIOD in the DID menu and set the desired ASCII messages period to a non-zero value.
  • Press the "Save Persistent" button in the EvalTool "Data Logs" tab to store the current message configuration to flash memory.
  • Reset the IMX and verify the messages are automatically streaming. You can use a generic serial port program like putty or the EvalTool->Data Logs->Data Log->Messages dialog to view the ASCII messages.

To disable all persistent messages using the EvalTool, click the "Stop Streaming" button and then "Save Persistent" button.

ASCII Input Messages

The following ASCII messages can be received by the IMX.

Message Description
$ASCB*13\r\n Query the broadcast rate of ASCII output messages.
ASCB Set the broadcast rate of ASCII output messages.
$INFO*0E\r\n Query device information.
$PERS*13\r\n Save persistent message to flash.
$STPB*15\r\n Stop broadcast of all messages (ASCII and binary) on all ports.
$STPC*14\r\n Stop broadcast of all messages (ASCII and binary) on current port.

ASCB

Enable ASCII message and set broadcast periods. The period is in milliseconds with no thousands separator character. “xx” is the two-character checksum. Each field can be left blank in which case the existing broadcast period for that field is not modified, or 0 to disable streaming. Actual broadcast period for each message is configurable as a period multiple of the Data Source Update Rates

In order to disable persistent messages, all messages must be disabled and then the 'save persistent messages' command should be sent.

Note

All ASCII command strings must be followed with a carriage return and new line character (\r\n or 0x0D, 0x0A).

The NMEA string checksum is automatically computed and appended to string when using the InertialSense SDK serialPortWriteAscii function or can be generated using an online NMEA checksum calculator. For example: MTK NMEA checksum calculator

Using Tera Term App

The example ASCII command strings can be sent using standard serial port terminal that supports sending the line ending characters (carriage return and new line). The Windows desktop app Tera Term can be used for this.

Setup:

  1. Start Tera Term > New connection. Select the correct serial port.

  2. Setup > Terminal... - Receive: CR - Transmit: CR+LF (IMPORTANT - Ensures each ASCII string ends with \r\n or 0x0D, 0x0A) - Local echo: Yes This shows what was sent.

  3. Setup > Serial port... - Speed: 921600 This is the default setting and must match the IMX serial port baudrate. - Data: 8 bit - Parity: none - Stop bits: 1 bit - Flow control: none

  4. menu bar > setup > save setup - This saves time the next time Tera Term is used.

Saving a log:

  1. File > log - Be sure to save as a .txt so it can be viewed in notepad. Controls for the log are in the Logger popup window after starting a log.

Sending an ASCII command:

  1. Copy one of the command messages above to the clipboard.

  2. Use the Tera Term > Edit > Paste<CR> option to send the copied command. This method in conjunction with the above "CR+LF" terminal transmit setting ensures that a carriage return and line feed character terminate the sent string. Only one ASCII string command can be sent at a time.
