# FarmBot Firmware OTP App
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `farmbot_firmware` OTP application is responsible for maintaining a connection to
|
||
|
|
the arduino-firmware.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## GCODE encoder/decoder subsystem
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The official Farmbot-Arduino-Firmware communicates over UART using a ASCII based
|
||
|
|
protocol based on CNC GCODE. This subsystem is responsible for translating
|
||
|
|
the ASCII data into an intermediate representation that can be `transport`ed
|
||
|
|
proto agnostically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Transport subsystem
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This subsystem is responsible for abstracting the details of transporting
|
||
|
|
FarmBot GCODEs to/from the firmware implementation. A `transport` will take
|
||
|
|
in the intermediate (farmbot specific) representation of a GCODE, and dispatch/handle
|
||
|
|
it in it's own specific manor. This keeps the usage of the overall application uniform
|
||
|
|
with or without a firmware plugged in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## UART subsystem
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Responsible for the official communication mechanism with the official arduino hardware.
