# Arduino-Pi Communication Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
Telemetry protocol for Arduino → Pi communication over UART at 115200 baud.
|
||||
|
||||
## Design Rationale
|
||||
|
||||
- **ASCII-based**: Human-debuggable, digits are self-bounding (no accidental header spoofing)
|
||||
- **TSV format**: Tab delimiter, predictable field count, trivial to parse, survives floating decimals
|
||||
- **Null-terminated**: `\0` (0x00) is unambiguous end-of-line, avoids CRLF headaches
|
||||
- **10Hz rate**: ~50 bytes/line × 10Hz = 500 B/s, well under 115200 baud capacity (~4% utilization)
|
||||
|
||||
## Telemetry Frame (Arduino → Pi)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
field0\tfield1\tfield2\t...\tfieldN\0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Fields
|
||||
|
||||
| Index | Name | Unit | Description |
|
||||
|-------|--------|---------|--------------------------------|
|
||||
| 0 | V_bat | V | Battery voltage |
|
||||
| 1 | Ax | g | Acceleration X |
|
||||
| 2 | Ay | g | Acceleration Y |
|
||||
| 3 | Az | g | Acceleration Z |
|
||||
| 4 | Gx | deg/s | Angular velocity X |
|
||||
| 5 | Gy | deg/s | Angular velocity Y |
|
||||
| 6 | Gz | deg/s | Angular velocity Z |
|
||||
| 7 | Roll | deg | Euler angle roll |
|
||||
| 8 | Pitch | deg | Euler angle pitch |
|
||||
| 9 | Yaw | deg | Euler angle yaw |
|
||||
| 10 | RPM | RPM | Engine RPM |
|
||||
| 11 | Gear | - | Gear position (0=N, 1-6) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
12.45\t0.02\t-0.01\t1.00\t0.50\t-0.25\t0.10\t2.35\t-1.20\t45.80\t3500\t3\0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Stale Data Handling
|
||||
|
||||
When IMU data is stale, empty fields are sent to preserve field count:
|
||||
```
|
||||
12.45\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\0
|
||||
```
|
||||
Backend parses empty fields as null/NaN.
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands (Pi → Arduino)
|
||||
|
||||
TBD: Command structure for configuration, calibration triggers, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Versioning
|
||||
|
||||
Protocol changes should bump a version field or use a different frame header.
|
||||
Currently unversioned (v0 / development).
