Hiya, • [snip]
about the packet level checksum.  A packet (for a message) looks like
this: 55 FF 00 F7 08 <data> <~data> CS ~CS

  Using the message $12...

If I add the bytes (mod FF) I get FF + F7 + 12, I get 08, but 09 is the
correct checksum.  Does this mean that the CS is Sum(bytes)+1?

The header of  '55 ff 00' isn't counted in the checksum - just F7 + 12 =
09

Thanks Dave, I knew I was _missing_ something...
