Add support for SeaTalk protocol

ktuukkan opened this issue · comments

Add support for Raymarine SeaTalk protocol by adding a layer of listeners and message parsers on top of raw $STALK sentence parser.

$STALK,cc,p1,p2..,pn*xx

  • cc = SeaTalk Command
  • p1, p2 .. pn = Parameters
  • *xx = NMEA checksum

Somewhat real examples provided here:
$STALK,30,00,0C - Switch ON illumination on SeaTalk instruments.
$STALK,30,00,00 - Switch OFF illumination on SeaTalk instruments.

Talker/sentence id is unusual but ST and ALK don't seem to overlap anything "standard", so it's probably quite safe to have fake ids in TalkerId and SentenceId enums.
