WhiskerControl Protocol
WhiskerControl is a research-focused control protocol utilized primarily in experimental and prototype networks or robotics systems. It facilitates communication and coordination between various research components, enabling data transfer, command execution, and system monitoring capabilities..
Technical Details
WhiskerControl research control protocol is designed for the specialized coordination of research devices, often in laboratory environments or developmental testbeds. It enables the exchange of commands and telemetry data between a central controller and peripheral experimental devices, facilitating streamlined remote operation and data collection.
Communication occurs bi-directionally over both TCP and UDP, allowing for reliable command delivery as well as low-latency, connectionless data streaming. The protocol supports customizable message formats tailored to specific research scenarios, which can include control commands, sensor data, or experimental metadata.
Due to its experimental nature, WhiskerControl may lack standardized documentation and implementations can vary widely. It is primarily intended for closed, controlled environments and is rarely exposed to production or internet-facing networks.
