Simple serial point-to-point communication protocol -— sample code

Question

I had read this: Simple serial point-to-point communication protocol

and I'm doing the same thing, and I don't want to reinvent wheel...

are there any API or sample code?

PS: code in C/C++, python...

Answer 1

See my answer , but go to Jeremy Bentham's TCP/IP Lean site

You can easily get it to speak normal IP protocols.

Answer 2

You could in a couple of days implement something like the Ash specification by Ember. It does address most of the issues pretty well.

Answer 3

APIs, implemented by software, are product-specific and/or O/S-specific.

On an embedded system (which is the kind of system where serial comms is most prevalent) you'd use (perhaps buy) a library.

Answer 4

Microcontroller Interconnect Network (MIN) code, written in 8-bit microcontroller embedded C and (for a PC etc.) also in Python:

https://github.com/min-protocol/min

Includes a "hello world" test program for an Arduino + PC described here:
