Inspired by this video by Ben Eater. This challenge forms a pair with Decode USB packets.

The USB 2.0 protocol uses, at a low level, a line code called non-return-to-zero encoding (specifically, a variant called NRZI), in which a stream of bits is encoded into a stream of two electrical level states J and K. Encoding works as follows:

  • Start with some initial state, which is either J or K
  • For each bit to be encoded:
    • If the bit is a 0, switch the state from J to K or from K to J
    • If the bit is a 1, maintain the same state as before
    • and output that state

For this challenge, we will assume the encoding starts in state J.

However, it's not that simple: an additional process called bit stuffing takes place, which is designed to make it easier to detect if the signal has dropped out. After 6 consecutive 1s are read, an extra meaningless 0 bit is processed to ensure the signal never stays in the same state (J or K) for too long.

The full USB specification is available here on the USB website, or mirrored (and easier to access) here, but I'd caution you before reading it because it's extremely long and the pertinent information is hard to pin down.

Task

Given a non-empty binary string as input, encode the string using the USB implementation of NRZI described above, and output a string of Js or Ks.

Rules

  • The input should be a string or array of 1s and 0s or of trues and falses
  • The output should be a string or array, with the two states J and K being represented by any two distinct values
  • You may use any standard I/O method
  • Standard loopholes are forbidden
  • This is , so the shortest code in bytes wins

This is a rather straightforward implementation in two steps.

s =>           // s = input string

               // STEP 1 - Bit stuffing
               //
[...s.replace( // replace in s:
  /1{6}/g,     //   each group of six consecutive 1's
  '$&0'        //   with the same group with a trailing 0
)]             // split the resulting string

               // STEP 2 - NRZI encoding
               //
.map(q =       // initialize q to a zero'ish, non-numeric value
  c =>         // for each character c:
  q ^=         //   invert q if ...
    c ^        //     ... c is not equal to the result of
    !!++q      //     the test 'q is a number'
               //     (0 on the 1st iteration, 1 afterwards)

A monadic Link that accepts a list of integers (from \$[0,1]\$) and yields a list of integers (from \$[0,1]\$) where \$0\$ represents \$K\$.

Try it online! Or see the test-suite.

7            - seven
 Ṭ           - untruth -> [0,0,0,0,0,0,1]

         ®   - recall from register
        j    - (split list) join (register value)
           \ - cumulative reduce with:
          ⁼  -   (left) equals (right)?

Outputs KJ as 01.

Try it online!

In the top left is a counter that gets incremented by the input 1s + and reset whenever it reaches 6 |6 or the input has a 0 *. If it reaches 6, it also injects a 0 into the stream (the ("=0 6!< part). Because the input stream would be faster (the 0 would get there 2 bits too late), we delay it by 5 ticks ~5. On the bottom right is the current output bit that gets flipped on 0s with = and then copied into the output =}.

The variables i and o store the values "1" and "0"", j and k store "J" and "K". h contains the line read from stdin (1's and 0's). q, initialized to 0, will be used for bit stuffing. n is the "current character pointer".

        if one_count is 7:

            decrement character_index
            current_character = 0
    if current_character is a 0:
        if state is J:
