STINGR (Stack Transmission & Inter-Nodal Gesture Repository is the primary software suite used within the HONEY architecture for communication between boards in a HONEY flight stack.
STINGR allows boards in the flight stack to do a number of critical operations and provides a large number of utilities for FTC's, providing an easy-to-use interface that masks the complexity of CAN Bus transmissions from developers. The STINGR library is primarily comprised of operations called Gestures -- any request or response on the CAN Bus is referred to as a Gesture. Gestures are comprised of a series of frames, which provide the following information for each transmission: Type (Request/Response), Source Identifier, Destination Identifier, Data, State Flags, and Checksum.
Gesture Specification
As mentioned above, a Gesture consists of a series of frames, each with a specific purpose. Each Gesture is transmitted on the CAN Bus, and allows all boards to determine if a Gesture is targeted towards them, and act appropriately. This section defines the specification of a Gesture, including a description of each of the frames.
More explicitly, a Gesture looks as so, with the leftmost frames being transmitted first, and the rightmost frames being transmitted last.
