2. PROTOCOL IMPLEMENTATION & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This library implements the SNPX protocol to communicate with Fanuc Robot Controllers. As this is a proprietary protocol with no official public documentation, this implementation relies on protocol analysis and community research.
Special Acknowledgements:
We gratefully acknowledge the work of GitHub user Palatis, whose extensive research into the GE SRTP protocol provided the technical foundation for the packet definitions used in this driver.
