Here ya go:
Remember start bit (sometimes called 2 stop bit mode)
55 00 D1 ~D1...Dn ~Dn C ~C
Add all the normal D parts in a single Byte for Chksum.
Code chunk for example
...
unsigned char MuxStr[] ={0x55,0xf7,0x08,0x01,0xfe,0xf8,0x07};
count = 7;
MuxStr[3] = value;
MuxStr[4] = ~MuxStr[3];
MuxStr[5] = MuxStr[1]+MuxStr[3];
MuxStr[6] = ~MuxStr[5];
err = FSWrite(refNum, &count, &MuxStr);
....
Sends a Message of Value.
