HORIZON

This protocol is meant as a simple way for users of the various Clearpath Robotics research offerings to interface with the Clearpath Robotics hardware. It includes several features intended to increase communication reliability, while keeping message overhead and protocol complexity low. For the sake of rapid prototyping, it is not intended for multiple devices to be simultaneously connected to each communication line, removing the need for addressing or negotiation.

USE

The intended purpose of this module is to provide a layer between the Horizon interface (or emulator) and the low-level transports that will automatically handle acknowledgments and message formatting. Only Payload classes, message codes, and errors are exposed.
