Tiny-cute-serializer

Simple and reliable data serializer dedicated for 8 bit microcontrollers to use with UART/SPI etc.

Features

• auto detection of packet types
• driven by events

Usage

Example usage is shown in main.cpp file.
Build using:

make

Example data packet

For struct

#pragma pack(push, 1)
struct testStruct
{
  char someString[8];
  char character;
  uint32_t number;
};
#pragma pack(pop)


testStruct myStruct;
strcpy(myStruct.someString, "cutestr");
myStruct.number =  0xdeadbeef;
myStruct.character = '~';

packet should be: :020d63757465737472007eefbeadde
I'm using : as start of packet and data is sent in hexadecimal format but by ASCII (which makes it 2 times slower than raw format) but it's still faster and simpler than sending data by JSON. It's important to put these #pragmas because it forces struct to generate same results on diifferent hardware which is important when using my library to communicate PC and embdedded stuff.

TODO

• move ASCII style packet functions to core of the library (almost done except parsePacket)
• add examples
• add headers and modify makefile to generate library file
• check for bugs
• optimize for memory usage
