Hi All
ok here goes i have a device that takes input (sentances) from several different peripherals using serial but only has one socket. the device is a marine gps/plotter/fish finder/weather indicator depending on what type of peripheral is conected to it. the data provided is in a format called IMEA 0183 an explanation of which is here :- https://www.windmill.co.uk/monitor52.html
My question is could a microcontroller take in serial data from several peripherals at once and send the collected data all together down one serial line to the device, the device is capable of understanding data from several devices at the same time but with only one serial line in, i would have to use a multiplexor which is available but the price is very prohibitive.
