#### Shared Objects ######################################
##########################################################
# Channel data must be structured in a subclass of
# MessageBase. This ensures that the channel will be able
# to serialize and deserialize the object and multiplex it
# with other objects. Both ends of a link will need the
# same object definitions to be able to communicate over
# a channel.
#
# Note: The objects we wish to use over the channel must
# be registered with the channel, and each link has a
# different channel instance. See the client_connected
# and link_established functions in this example to see
# how message types are registered.
# Let's make a simple message class called StringMessage
# that will convey a string with a timestamp.
class StringMessage(RNS.MessageBase):
# The MSGTYPE class variable needs to be assigned a
# 2 byte integer value. This identifier allows the
# channel to look up your message's constructor when a
# message arrives over the channel.
#
# MSGTYPE must be unique across all message types we
# register with the channel. MSGTYPEs >= 0xf000 are
# reserved for the system.
MSGTYPE = 0x0101
# The constructor of our object must be callable with
# no arguments. We can have parameters, but they must
# have a default assignment.
#
# This is needed so the channel can create an empty
# version of our message into which the incoming
# message can be unpacked.
def __init__(self, data=None):
self.data = data
self.timestamp = datetime.now()
# Finally, our message needs to implement functions
# the channel can call to pack and unpack our message
# to/from the raw packet payload. We'll use the
# umsgpack package bundled with RNS. We could also use
# the struct package bundled with Python if we wanted
# more control over the structure of the packed bytes.
#
# Also note that packed message objects must fit
# entirely in one packet. The number of bytes
# available for message payloads can be queried from
# the channel using the Channel.MDU property. The
# channel MDU is slightly less than the link MDU due
# to encoding the message header.
# The pack function encodes the message contents into
# a byte stream.
def pack(self) -> bytes:
return umsgpack.packb((self.data, self.timestamp))
# And the unpack function decodes a byte stream into
# the message contents.
def unpack(self, raw):
self.data, self.timestamp = umsgpack.unpackb(raw)
