Serial bus protocol intended for RS485.

#Arduino SerialBuster

A protocol for communicating between several nodes on a single serial bus. This protocol is mainly developed for an RS485 network with one master and a number of slave devices.

• Non blocking, meaning no delays blocking the loop() from running
• Send arbitrary sized package payloads
• Binary safe
• CRC8 checksum

Notes

All data is stored as bytes, unsigned int (16 bit) or unsigned long (32 bit). If you store data that needs signedness, make sure to cast it when reading it.

16 and 32 bit data structures are stored in Buffer as Little Endian.
