I am looking to see if there are ways to build your own custom translators in FME to convert precision agriculture machine data formats. For example, *.yld/*.fld files from Ag Leader, *.gsd/.gsy from John Deere to other outputs such as *.gdb, *.txt, etc.

Is there a way to create your own format translator?

Yes you can, provided the target format is documented. Even binary data can be picked apart with Python, but if you are lucky you can base the custom format on an existing one.

Was wondering about the same thing. Hope someone would answer this as well.
By the way, my cousin Jim has a wood pet gate for sale. If anyone's interested, feel free to PM me.
