asynchronous serial stream of bytes

3 parts

header payload checksum

transport medium UART serial comm USB bluetooth and any mechanism which can stream bytes

packet begins with header then payload ends with payloads's checksum byte

payload section may be up to 169 bytes long

each of sync, plength, and checksum are 1 byte each header consists of 2 syncs and 1 plength bytes

so, possible packet

sync sync plength (1+1+1)
payload (169)
checksum (1)

so minumum 4 (? empty payload)

maximum 173

header

2 sync bytes signal beginning of new packet
0xaa

issue of 2 sync "special 0xaa"  appear in data
therefore plength and checksum are necessary
 to avoid in-band signal/data ambiguity mis-parsing
plength == payload length not packet length
so if larger than 169 then error
can be 0

payload

don't parse until verify checksum
checksum
 sum bytes
 take lowest 8 bits
 perform bit inverse
payload is series of data rows

data row format:

value type

there can be 0 or more data rows

each data row begins with

0 or more Extended Code Flag Byte (0x55)
 Extended Code Level (not yet implemented) given by ECFB count
1 Code bytes (which will never by 0x55/ECFB or 0xaa/sync)
0 or 1 VLength bytes (signalled by Code <= 0x7f)
1 or more Value bytes

<= 0x7f "single-byte code"

0x02 POOR_SIGNAL
0x04 ATTENTION
0x05 MEDITATION
0x16 BLINK EVENT
 unsigned 2s-complement

>= 0x80 "multi-byte code"

0x80 RAW Wave Value
 single 16-bit 2s-complement signed big-endian (-32768 to 32767)
0x83 ASIC_EEG_POWER
 8 24-bit 2s-complement unsigned big-endian (0 to 16,777,216)
