SerialSensors

A protocol and set of libraries to read sensors via the serial port. Useful for WebSerial and MCU-MCU comms.

Goals

AT ATMakers we are consistently finding a need to communicate over basic UART links with no flow control and no significant buffering. This project is meant to hold solutions to this problem.

Components

1. A documented protocol for interfacing with sensors attached to a MCU over a serial link. Protocol should handle error detection, connection reset, and commands to fetch sensors values, start/stop streaming of values, and start/stop recording of values.
2. "Host" implementation based on Arduino using TinyUSB when USB Hosting is needed.
3. "Client" libraries implemented in Arduino, CircuitPython, and Javascript (WebUSB/WebSerial) for pulling data out
