Implementation Details

L4 Transport (UDP & TCP)

# Both support synchronous socket-based I/O

# UDP Send: Single datagram to remote host
def send(payload, config):
    sock.sendto(payload, (host, port))

# UDP Listen: Continuous listening, invoke callback per datagram
def listen(config, callback):
    while True:
        data, addr = sock.recvfrom(65535)
        callback(data, addr)

# TCP Send: Connect, send, disconnect
def send(payload, config):
    sock.connect((host, port))
    sock.sendall(payload)

# TCP Listen: Accept connections, handle per-connection
def listen(config, callback):
    while True:
        conn, addr = sock.accept()
        data = conn.recv(65535)
        callback(data, addr)

Physical Layer (UART, RS485, CAN, LoRa)

# UART: STX(0x02) ... ETX(0x03) framing
# Implements pyserial-based serial port listener
# Callback triggered on complete frame reception

# RS485: Half-duplex RS485 driver
# Uses hardware_drivers.RS485 for low-level control
# Listener calls driver.receive() in loop

# CAN: CAN bus with ID-based routing
# Uses hardware_drivers.CAN for bus access
# Listener monitors for messages on configured CAN ID

# LoRa: Wireless serial-based transceiver
# Uses hardware_drivers.LoRa for radio control
# Listener calls driver.receive() for wireless packets

Application Layer (MQTT)

# MQTT Publish (Send)
def send(payload, config):
    client.connect(host, port)
    client.publish(topic, payload)
    client.disconnect()

# MQTT Subscribe (Listen)
def listen(config, callback):
    client.connect(host, port)
    client.subscribe(topic)
    # MQTT library calls on_message callback
    # which invokes your callback(data, addr)
    client.loop_forever()

How to Use Bi-Directional Communication

1. Simple UDP Echo Server

from opensynaptic.core.transport_layer import get_transport_layer_manager

def handle_packet(data, addr):
    print(f"Received {len(data)} bytes from {addr}")
    # Process or forward data...

mgr = get_transport_layer_manager()
udp = mgr.get_adapter('udp')

# Listen in separate thread
import threading
listener_thread = threading.Thread(
    target=udp.module.listen,
    args=(config, handle_packet),
    daemon=True
)
listener_thread.start()

# Send data while listening
success = mgr.send('udp', packet, config)

2. UART Serial Communication

from opensynaptic.core.physical_layer import get_physical_layer_manager

def on_serial_data(data, addr):
    print(f"Serial data from {addr[0]}: {data.hex()}")

mgr = get_physical_layer_manager()
uart = mgr.get_adapter('uart')

# Listen thread
listener = threading.Thread(
    target=uart.module.listen,
    args=(config, on_serial_data),
    daemon=True
)
listener.start()

# Send via UART
mgr.send('uart', packet, config)

3. MQTT Pub/Sub

from opensynaptic.services.transporters.drivers import mqtt

def on_mqtt_message(data, addr):
    print(f"MQTT message: {data}")

# Subscribe (blocking)
import threading
threading.Thread(
    target=mqtt.listen,
    args=(config, on_mqtt_message),
    daemon=True
).start()

# Publish
mqtt.send(packet, config)

Verification Script

Run the audit to verify all capabilities:

py -3 scripts/audit_driver_capabilities.py

Expected output: All 10 drivers COMPLETE ✅

---

Next Steps

1. ✅ All drivers have send/receive capability
2. ✅ All listeners can be run in background threads
3. ⏳ Optional: Add connection pooling for efficiency
4. ⏳ Optional: Add automatic reconnection/retry logic
5. ⏳ Optional: Performance tuning for high-throughput scenarios

Conclusion

All 10 protocol drivers in OpenSynaptic now support full bi-directional communication:

• ✅ Send functionality (transmit data)
• ✅ Listen functionality (receive data)
• ✅ Callback-based architecture
• ✅ Ready for production use

The system can now operate as both a client (sender) and server (receiver) simultaneously across all protocols. 🚀
