Cheerinos

Note: this is work in progress!

Cheerinos is an Arduino serial communication library to make serial communication between python and arduino easy.

Packet structure

• SOH - ASCII Start of header
• HEADER - Includes from_addr, to_addr, and num_bytes of payload
• STX - ASCII Start of text
• PAYLOAD - Payload data
• ETX - ASCII End of text
• CRC - Cyclic Redundancy Check (8 bits)
• EOT - ASCII End of Transmission

TODOs

• Python Boost bindings
• Wait for ACK/NACK
• Implement CRC
• Test with 2 instances of cheerinos

To run tests:

1. First build with g++
   • g++ -o test ring_byte_buf.cpp sim_serial.cpp cheerinos.cpp test.cpp
2. Run test
   • ./test
