Has anybody ported and tested the Arduino based decoder KimBP/AIS found on Github at [https://github.com/KimBP/AIS](https://github.com/KimBP/AIS) to Particle? If so would, it be possible get obtain a copy of the Particle version? Are there any other Arduino / Particle based AIS decoders that are worth considering? Thank you ---

After taking a quick look through the library it appears that it doesn’t use any Arduino exclusive code, meaning that you should be able to use it with minimal modifications necessary. Have you tried adapting this example? [https://github.com/KimBP/AIS/blob/master/Examples/AISDecode/AISDecode.ino](https://github.com/KimBP/AIS/blob/master/Examples/AISDecode/AISDecode.ino) ---

Thank you @nrobinson2000. I have now converted the example code and have it running on a Photon. The only changes were to the example code.
