Toko #18 - Communication Protocols
Lots of stuff out there communicates in certain electronic languages: internet, radio, television, telephones, computer screens, computer networks, USB devices, remote controls etc. This OpenToko will cover the similarities and differences between quite some protocols.In the field of telecommunications, a communications protocol is the set of standard rules for data representation, signaling, authentication and error detection required to send information over a communications channel. … Communication protocol is basically following certain rules so that the system works properly. wikipedia
Edwin Dertien will kick-off this Toko giving a general introduction and supplying a context dividing the day in the 7 OSI-layers.
In the morning protocols within the low-level 'media layers' (physical layer etc.) will be covered. Followed by higher-level protocols from the 'host layers' in the afternoon. This sounds quite theoretical but of course lots of nice hands-on stuff will be supporting each layer (like MIDI devices, DMX controllers, VT100 keyboard from the 70's, DIY AM Radio, Arduino generating video signal, OpenSoundControl iPhone-MaxMSP link and more).
