SerialTransfer is an easy to use Arduino library for transferring packetized data fast and reliably via Serial, I2C, and SPI interfaces. Interconnect your Arduinos today minus the headace with SerialTransfer!
A mirror library is also available for Python!
This library:
- can be downloaded via the Arduino IDE's Libraries Manager (search "SerialTransfer.h")
- works with "software-serial", "software-I2C", and "software-SPI" libraries
- is non blocking
- uses packet delimiters
- uses consistent overhead byte stuffing
- uses CRC-8 (Polynomial 0x9B with lookup table)
- allows the use of dynamically sized packets (packets can have payload lengths anywhere from 1 to 254 bytes)
- supports user-specified callback functions
- can transfer bytes, ints, floats, structs, even large files like JPEGs and CSVs!!

See the example sketches
- datum = tx/rx a single object
- data = tx/rx multiple objects
SPITransfer.h and it's associated features are not supported for the ESP8266, Arduino Nano 33 BLE or DUE.
Should the automatic detection of SPI support fail you can define the macro SPI_TRANSFER to 1 to forcefully enable SPI or to 0 to forcefully disable it.
