Electric UI

Electric UI is a comprehensive set of tools specifically designed for creating user interfaces that connect with hardware. The focus of Electric UI is to provide developers with a seamless and polished experience. It includes a binary protocol, available on GitHub under an MIT license, which offers the following features: 1) A human-readable message identifier between 1-15 characters, 2) Up to 1kB of payload per packet, 3) The ability to split larger amounts of data into multiple packets, 4) Inclusion of type information for standard C types, 5) Acknowledgment and query bits for message reliability and clarity, 6) Low overhead with only 7-9 bytes per packet, and 7) Built-in 16bit checksum and COBS framing for reliable delivery and quick recovery. While the protocol over serial is the default option, Electric UI also allows for the use of custom protocols or transports for the user interface. It is transport agnostic, meaning it can work with multiple transports simultaneously and offers fail-over functionality in case one transport becomes unsuitable due to issues like high latency. Electric UI also provides comprehensive online documentation with examples ranging from simple to complex.
