Code to perform SLIP Protocol

Slip3.js 27 Aug 2016
The previous code is reworked into an object named Slip.
The Serial.on('data') can then invoke the parsing of data in the Slip object.
As characters are parsed in the Slip object, the emit() function is used to forward data to a new Slip.on('data') function. Try the example at different baud rates. The code follows:

//slip3.js
//26 Aug 2016
//Written on a PICO
//For testing connect Tx to RX for loopback, pins B6 and B7 Serial1


//SLIP protocol
// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Line_Internet_Protocol
var END="\xC0";
var ESC="\xdb";
var ESC_END="\xdc";
var ESC_ESC="\xdd";

// END+Packet+END
//if the END byte occurs in the data to be sent, the two byte sequence
// ESC, ESC_END is sent instead,
//if the ESC byte occurs in the data, the two byte sequence ESC, ESC_ESC // is sent.


function Slip(port){
// this.sss="";
 this.State=0;
 this.Port=port;
 this.sendEND=function(){this.Port.write(END);};
 this.sendESC=function(){this.Port.write(ESC);};
 this.sendESC_END=function(){this.Port.write(ESC_END);};
 this.sendESC_ESC=function(){this.Port.write(ESC_ESC);};

}

Slip.prototype.sendPacket=function(A){
 var i;
 this.sendEND();
  for(i=0;i<A.length;i++){
   switch(A.charAt(i)){
    case END:
     this.sendESC();
     this.sendESC_END();
    break;
    case ESC:
     this.sendESC();
     this.sendESC_ESC();
    break;
    default:
     this.Port.write(A.charAt(i));
    break;
   }//end switch
  }//next i
 this.sendEND();
};


Slip.prototype.parsnip=function(data){
 var i;
 console.log("Port.on= "+data);console.log(" ");
 for(i=0;i<data.length;i++){
  switch(this.State){
   case 0://looking for END to start packet
//console.log("0");
    if(data.charAt(i)===END){
     //this.sss="";
     this.State=10;
     i++;
    }
   return;
   case 10://get the packet
//console.log("10");
    if(data.charAt(i)===END){
     this.State=0;
     return;
    }
    this.State=20;
   return;
   case 20://look for ESC
//console.log("20");
   if(data.charAt(i)===ESC){this.State=30;return;}
    this.emit('data',data.charAt(i));
    this.State=10;
   return;
   case 30://ESC was seen
//console.log("30");
    if(data.charAt(i)===ESC_END){
     this.emit('data',END);
     this.State=10;
     return;
    }
    if(data.charAt(i)===ESC_ESC){
     this.emit('data',ESC);
     this.State=10;
     return;
    }
   return;
   default:
    console.log("default error");
   break;
  }//end switch
 }//next i
};

 var text="Hello"+ESC+"World"+END+"Eagles\n\r";
 var text1="Sally\n\r";

The output:
