Hello!
I need to use COBS encoding for sending and receving data over RS-232 node.
COBS will escape any ‘0’ characters with a pointer to the next escaped character.
I managed to patch the encoding side.
On the decoding side i need to iterate through a spread ( read an index as a pointer, read the index indicated by that pointer etc.)
Is there an elegant / spreadable way of doing this?
My patch for decoding is working, but needs [n] copies of some nodes, for the [n] possible occurences of ‘0’. So it’s not very flexible.
Gave it a quick go. Using the old VL integration was a blast from the past.
It’s using COBS.NET. Had to reference the lib directly since there is some bug with nuget packages…
Works fine,
but here’s a (another) catch.
I will receive multiple raw COBS packets per frame with the Tokenizer.
When i process them, AsValue serializes the packets into one spread.
Which breaks the decoding and also looses the identification of packets.
I thought I would receive a ‘spread of spreads’ ( spread of packets).
Am i missing something obvious here?
Or should I be doing stuff like this in a VL ( integration) node?
I mean probably moving to gamma would be a good idea,
as the whole project will involve processing different and varying message types from/to a Rs485 Node Network via an Arduino, and (probably MIDI) data from Max,
so something like events and some state based logic, on top of continuously controlling parameters vvvv-Style.
