Testing MIN with serial monitor about min HOT 2 CLOSED

If you are using the transport layer on top of the basic MIN layer then there will be automatic timeout and re-send, yes. So for the transport layer, a host needs to be connected to ACK the MCU's frames.

The transport layer runs on top of the basic framing, and is designed for MCUs with more RAM for buffering. It's a very simple protocol, with a sliding window and ACKs to move the window. But it's a connected system: there is another end to it. There's no API to construct the ACK frame: it's part of the protocol at each end. If you want to test it, I suggest getting the Python code running and then adding debug output directly from the serial driver that you can put into your monitor to see what's happening on the way.

The basic framing layer will drop frames on a noisy line: it's like Ethernet or LIN in this respect and not like CAN. This is why the transport layer was created (many applications do not need this, of course, since an application using repeated sensor data means that another value will arrive soon anyway).

Thank you. That answers all my questions. Thank you again for making this library which is very useful and simple to use & understand.
