1) Is the current operation definition (polling devices for data) using the best approach? Others options:

  • time slicing, where each device will be allowed to send data only in its slice, defined previously by the host
  • on demand, any device can send data to host since it has new data. In this case a collision detection strategy have to be designed

TODO: Pros and Cons to each case


2) instead of channel selection need to have an human interaction (selector switches, buttons and display, ...) , could be better try an automatic way, using random number, e.g.?


3) is the SLIP encapsulation really necessary? Or a sync byte and no chars escaping sounds enough?
