Could you build this?
No kplex is a high-performance multiplexer for maritime NMEA 0183/2000 marine navigation data across serial lines and networks, requiring embedded C systems programming and domain-specific protocol compliance.
What it would actually take: Building a proper marine NMEA multiplexer requires POSIX C systems programming to handle asynchronous serial I/O, TCP/UDP sockets, sentence validation/filtering, and buffer management without latency or data loss. The core challenges involve deep familiarity with NMEA 0183 specifications, marine electronics hardware interfaces (RS-422/RS-232), and strict real-time reliability requirements under erratic serial throughput.
