Example Arduino Code For The Serial Communications Protocol
This is an Arduino example/library of my serial communications protocol which implements checksums, acknowledge and repeat commands to normal serial communication, while still keeping the end user experience simple and intuitive.
Command Packet Contents
Bellow is an illustration of a command packet which is sent out by the library.
Each command packet consists of an instructions packet, a checksum and an end bit, with each part being seperated by a separator bit. The istructions packet consists of a command and a data part, which are again separated by a bit. In the current form of the protocol the separator bit is a # and the terminator bit is a @.
An example command would look something like this ERR#Something went wrong#4324@. In the above example we are sending a command ERR with the arguments of Something went wrong and the 4324 is an auto generated checksum.
All the data is currently being transmitted in plain-text, however in future versions of the library they will be encoded in hex and sent that way.
