System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Designing robust serial communication protocols to enable framing, synchronization, error detection, and reliable bidirectional data exchange between ROS 2 nodes and microcontrollers over UART.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines a packet structure with start bytes, type, length, payload, and CRC to frame messages.
  • Provides a CRC-8 based integrity check and notes on when to use CRC-16 for higher reliability.
  • Describes Byte Stuffing and alternatives to handle special payload bytes and framing.
  • Includes protocol definition examples for command and data packets and a Python parser for ROS 2 side.
  • Outlines bidirectional communication patterns (MCU → Host data and Host → MCU commands) and basic error handling strategies.

Quick Start

Initialize a ROS 2 node and MCU link to implement the packet-based serial protocol and validate end-to-end messaging.
