I am writing a program, and it doesnt work. Right now im just trying to
make sure I can interface with the serial port properly. So I am sending:
55 ff 00 51 ae 03 fc 54 ab
At 2400 baud, 8 data bits, odd parity, and one stop bit.
It doesnt work. The light on the ir tower turns on, but the rcx does
nothing.
When i run "nqc -raw 5103" it works just fine, so its not the rcx or the
tower.
So, my questions are:
1. Is that packet malformed?
2. How does one calculate the checksum?
Thanks,
Trevyn.
