This week we used the new modules for RF and got a functional protocol for RF working. We are now able to transmit packets of characters than communicate commands between the two modules themselves. As of now, the command packet will be 8 characters long. The first 4 will be the screw ID, the 5th will be the unique command, and the last 3 will be used to set a new current should that command be used. The response packet will be 13 characters long. Again, the first 4 characters are the screw ID. The following characters reflect the stimulation amplitude, the charge of the screw, and the output impedance. We have verified that each screw will only respond to commands prompting its unique screw ID, ensuring addressability.
