// Package xbee implements xbee API encoding and decoding. // It encodes and decodes // API frames from io.Writer and io.Reader by providing a WriteFrame function and // a scanner.split function. It also includes internal packets for using the API. // For end-users, it provides a simple net.Conn-like interface that can write // and read arbitrary bytes (to be used by a higher level protocol) package xbee import ( "bytes" "encoding/binary" "errors" "io" ) // the frames have an outer shell - we will make a function that takes // an inner frame element and wraps it in the appropriate headers. // first, we should make it take the frame directly, so we make an interface // that represents "framable" things. note that bytes.Buffer also fulfils this. // Frameable is an object that can be sent in an XBee Frame. An XBee Frame // consists of a start delimiter, length, the payload, and a checksum. type Frameable interface { // returns the API identifier for this frame. // encodes this frame correctly.
