# protocol specs

under construction!

## client/robot

the included wixel is used for bidirectional wireless serial data transfer. it
has built-in error correction and other features that make sure data gets to
the robot losslessly, so data loss is not accounted for.

### important constants

|property|value|unit|
|-|-|-|
|baud rate|9600|bit s⁻¹|
|max byte timeout|5|ms|
|byte order|big-endian|-|

### commands

each command consists of an opcode, and then a payload. each opcode defines
logic to handle payload length, so certain commands might expect a fixed-length
payload, a variable-length payload, or none at all.

opcodes are picked sequentially, but bit 0 is reserved to indicate a transfer
from robot to client. this means that the opcode for a sensor data request
would be `0x14`, but the response opcode would be `0x15`. a c header is
provided that contains consts of these opcodes for code readability.

#### BOMD

##### backorder append

- length: 2 bytes
- client to robot

|type|description|
|-:|-|
|`uint8_t`|opcode (`0x00 + 0`)|
|`uint8_t`|action|

_action_ is a byte containing `0bXXXXXXYY` where X+1 is the amount of times
action Y gets repeated. Y can be:
- 0: move 1 tile forward
- 1: move 1 tile backward
- 2: turn right 90°
- 3: turn left 90°

examples:
- move forward 4 tiles: `0b00001100` (`0x10`)
- turn 180°: `0b00000110` (`0x06`) or `0b00000111` (`0x07`)

##### backorder index

- length: 9 bytes
- robot to client
