The GTU7Config struct lacked documentation explaining its purpose and fields, particularly the Reader field used for test injection.

Changes

  • Added struct-level documentation explaining GTU-7 GPS module configuration via NMEA-0183 serial protocol
  • Documented Reader field as optional io.Reader for test injection, allowing unit tests to provide mock NMEA data without hardware
  • Included usage examples for both production (serial port) and testing scenarios

Example

// Production usage
gps := NewGTU7(GTU7Config{
    Name: "my-gps",
    Serial: drivers.SerialConfig{Port: "/dev/ttyUSB0", Baud: 9600},
})

// Test usage
gps := NewGTU7(GTU7Config{
    Reader: strings.NewReader("$GPGGA,123519,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,1,08,0.9,545.4,M,46.9,M,,*47\n"),
})

Pull request overview

This PR adds comprehensive documentation to the GTU7Config struct, explaining how to configure a GTU-7 GPS module with NMEA-0183 serial protocol support. The documentation includes usage examples for both production (with serial port) and testing scenarios (with mock data injection).

Changes:

  • Added struct-level documentation for GTU7Config explaining the GPS module configuration
  • Documented the Reader field for test injection, enabling unit tests without hardware
  • Minor formatting adjustments to vh400.go struct initialization (alignment only)

File Description
sensors/gtu7.go Added comprehensive documentation for GTU7Config struct, including usage examples and Reader field documentation for test injection
sensors/vh400.go Formatting alignment changes to Descriptor struct field initialization (no functional changes)
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

sensors/gtu7.go:66

  • The comment on line 62 "Buf sizes the out channel. Default 16." appears to be misplaced. This comment should be associated with the Buf field on line 63, but it's currently positioned immediately after the Reader field documentation (lines 58-61), which might cause confusion. The Reader field documentation should be placed directly above the Reader field declaration at line 66, or the Buf comment should be moved to line 63 to properly document the Buf field.
	// Reader is an optional io.Reader for test injection.
	// When non-nil, the driver reads NMEA sentences from Reader instead of opening
	// a serial port. This allows unit tests to provide mock NMEA data via strings.NewReader
	// or similar without requiring hardware.
	// Buf sizes the out channel. Default 16.
	Buf int

	// Test injection
	Reader io.Reader
