Improve typing for CAN/CAN-FD #60

Open pd0wm opened 1 month ago

pd0wm commented 1 month ago

Try to make impossible states not representable, but hopefully not by making the UX worse. E.g.

Remote frames cannot contain any data. Separate type?
Remote frames cannot be CAN-FD.
Split out CAN/CAN-FD data frames into separate types? Or keep as a flag? CAN-FD has special flags (e.g. BRS).
Split out Error frame as separate type?
Investigate use of [u8; 64] instead of Vec for CAN data storage
