NAME

            

              
              
UAV::Pilot::ArdupilotProtocol::PacketFactory
            
          

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# Where $packet_in is a bunch of bytes read from the network:
my $packet = UAV::Pilot::ArdupilotProtocol::PacketFactory->read_packet(
    $packet_in );
# Create a fresh packet that we might later send over the network:
my $new_packet = UAV::Pilot::ArdupilotProtocol::PacketFactory->fresh_packet(
    'Ack' );
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Creates new packets, either for reading a bunch of bytes off the network, or for fresh ones that we'll send back over the network.

METHODS

read_packet

            

              
              
read_packet( $bytes )
            
          

Takes a bunch of bytes and returns a UAV::Pilot::ArdupilotProtocol::Packet object based on that data.

fresh_packet

            

              
              
fresh_packet( $type )
            
          

Creates a new packet based on $type and returns it. The $type parameter should be one of the classes under UAV::Pilot::ArdupilotProtocol::Packet::, such as Ack or RadioOutputs.
