How to treat data communication questions?
This question [here](https://electrical.codidact.com/posts/285155) about the OSI model was closed as off-topic. How should we treat questions about data communication? What is definitely on-topic here: - Embedded systems programming, including microcontrollers and FPGA. - Specific software or hardware questions about industry standard buses like SPI, I2C, UART etc. - Hardware questions about fibre optics, copper wiring, connectors. What might be borderland on-topic (and possibly overlap with other Codidact sites): - Abstract data communication questions. - Data communication protocol specifications. - Higher layer questions regarding LAN or Wifi networks. - The [Internet protocol suite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite).
