Hi Christian, (...) if you have an endianness problem it should be visible. The easiest would be to compare it with a little-endian machine. (...) It uses the SAM-BA protocol, which is rather simple and without error checking, more like what a human (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
