What is this?

This will be a file outlining universal communcation parameters for robots, wearables, etc., intended to provide a rough outline of the health of the device in question. These parameters are intended to be sent by the device via whatever channel is available; as such, only simple datatypes and identificators should be used. Exceptions can be made for optional parameters.

Vitality parameters

These parameters will determine whether or not a device is functional and, to some extent, what part of it has entered a critical state. They will almost always be applicable to every system.

  • General Operation Status
    • Type: int8
    • Num. ID: 0xF00
    • Str. ID: "Status"
    • Interpretation: Negative values signal fatal errors, >=0 nominal (states like OK, SLEEP, LOADING)
  • Power Status
    • Type: [int8, int16][]
    • Num. ID: 0xF01
    • Str. ID: "Power"
    • Interpretation: First byte signals charge percent of power source (100=FULL/OK, >100 OVERVOLT, <0 UNDERVOLT), the following 16-bit value should signal the voltage level of the power source (in 10mV).
