++# OpenXC Message Format Specification
++
++Version: v0.6.0
++
++This specification is a part of the [OpenXC platform][OpenXC].
++
++An OpenXC vehicle interface sends generic vehicle data over one or more output
++interfaces (e.g. USB or Bluetooth) as JSON or Protocol Buffers (protobuf).
++
++## JSON
++
++The JSON format is the most flexible and easiest to use. The format is fully
++specified in the [JSON.mkd](JSON.mkd) file in this repository.
++a more flexible option than binary, but is less compact and
++therefore takes more bandwidth and processing power.
++
++The JSON format is best for most developers, as it is fairly efficient and very
++flexible.
++
++## Binary (Protocol Buffers)
++
++The binary format is encoded using [Google Protocol
++Buffers](https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/). The format is specified in the
++file [openxc.proto](openxc.proto). The descriptions of the messages can be foud
++in the JSON specs - the binary format mirrors this.
++
++The binary messages are published by the VI using the standard length-delimited
++method (any protobuf library should support this).
++
++The binary format is best if you need to maximize the amount of data that can be
++sent from the VI, trading off flexibility for efficiency.
++
++## Message Pack
++MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data
++among multiple languages like JSON, but it's faster and smaller. Small integers are
++encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte
++in addition to the strings themselves
++
++For protocol specification visit:
++https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md
++
++We are using the following lib:
++https://github.com/camgunz/cmp
++
++MessagePack provides a binary alternative to ProtoBuf. There are pros & cons to each
++so you can decide what works best for your project.
++
++## Trace File Format
++
++An OpenXC vehicle trace file is a plaintext file that contains JSON objects,
++separated by newlines (which may be either `\r\n` or `\n`, depending on the
++platform the trace file was recorded).
++
++The first line may be a metadata object, although this is optional:
++
++```
++{"metadata": {
++ "version": "v3.0",
++ "vehicle_interface_id": "7ABF",
++ "vehicle": {
++ "make": "Ford",
++ "model": "Mustang",
++ "trim": "V6 Premium",
++ "year": 2013
++ },
++ "description": "highway drive to work",
++ "driver_name": "TJ Giuli",
++ "vehicle_id": "17N1039247929"
++}
++```
++
++The following lines are OpenXC messages with a `timestamp` field added, e.g.:
++
++ {"timestamp": 1385133351.285525, "name": "steering_wheel_angle", "value": 45}
++
++The timestamp is in [UNIX time](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time)
++(i.e. seconds since the UNIX epoch, 00:00:00 UTC, 1/1/1970).
++
++## Official Signals
++
++These signal names are a part of the OpenXC specification, although some
++manufacturers may support custom message names.
++
++* steering_wheel_angle
++ * numerical, -600 to +600 degrees
++ * 10Hz
++* torque_at_transmission
++ * numerical, -500 to 1500 Nm
++ * 10Hz
++* engine_speed
++ * numerical, 0 to 16382 RPM
++ * 10Hz
++* vehicle_speed
++ * numerical, 0 to 655 km/h (this will be positive even if going in reverse
++ as it's not a velocity, although you can use the gear status to figure out
++ direction)
++ * 10Hz
++* accelerator_pedal_position
++ * percentage
++ * 10Hz
++* parking_brake_status
++ * boolean, (true == brake engaged)
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* brake_pedal_status
++ * boolean (True == pedal pressed)
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* transmission_gear_position
++ * states: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth,
++ ninth, tenth, reverse, neutral
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* gear_lever_position
++ * states: neutral, park, reverse, drive, sport, low, first, second, third,
++ fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* odometer
++ * Numerical, km
++ 0 to 16777214.000 km, with about .2m resolution
++ * 10Hz
++* ignition_status
++ * states: off, accessory, run, start
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* fuel_level
++ * percentage
++ * 2Hz
++* fuel_consumed_since_restart
++ * numerical, 0 - 4294967295.0 L (this goes to 0 every time the vehicle
++ restarts, like a trip meter)
++ * 10Hz
++* door_status
++ * Value is State: driver, passenger, rear_left, rear_right.
++ * Event is boolean: true == ajar
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* headlamp_status
++ * boolean, true is on
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* high_beam_status
++ * boolean, true is on
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* windshield_wiper_status
++ * boolean, true is on
++ * 1Hz, but sent immediately on change
++* latitude
++ * numerical, -89.0 to 89.0 degrees with standard GPS accuracy
++ * 1Hz
++* longitude
++ * numerical, -179.0 to 179.0 degrees with standard GPS accuracy
++ * 1Hz
++
++## Signals from Diagnostic Messages
++
++This set of signals is often retreived from OBD-II requests. The units can be
++found in the [OBD-II standard](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs#Mode_01).
++
++* engine_load
++* engine_coolant_temperature
++* barometric_pressure
++* commanded_throttle_position
++* throttle_position
++* fuel_level
++* intake_air_temperature
++* intake_manifold_pressure
++* running_time
++* fuel_pressure
++* mass_airflow
++* accelerator_pedal_position
++* ethanol_fuel_percentage
++* engine_oil_temperature
++* engine_torque
