Sample Command - Read Info
StartBit | Read/Write | Command | Length | Data | Checksum | StopBit |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DD | A5 | 03 | 00 | - | FF FD | 77 |
Checksum Calculation
Checksum Calculation = 0x10000 - (Command + Length + Data)
= 0x1000 - (0x03+0x00)
= 0xFF FD
OR
Checksum Calculation = (Command + Length + Data) XOR FF + 1
= (0x03 + 0x00) XOR 0xFFFF + 1
= 0xFFFD
