OAT is part of the EIS data if the OAT is connected to the EIS. It is not currently transferred otherwise.

I've managed to get the ethernet link established with my HXr, but I can't seem to replicate the checksum or character stuffing. Can someone please explain how the checksum is calculated, and how character stuffing works in this case?

Thanks,
Casey

Start of this post, Jeff talks about the char stuffing. Basically if you see 0x7D 0x5E then replace both hex bytes with 0x7E. If you see 0x7D 0x5D then replace both hex bytes with 0x7D. Do checksum after this step.

Are you using Arduino software? They have a library called FastCRC16 for checksum that does the processing and it's actually really quick. Compare the last two bytes

Code: Select all

  //Last two bytes are checksum    
  if (FastCRC16.x25(msg, len-2) == (uint16_t)(word(msg[len-1], msg[len-2]))) {
    EFISData.CrcValid++;
  }
  else {        
    EFISData.CrcError++;               //Crc do not match
    return;
  }

Thanks for the info on the checksum...I've tried quite a few different methods and the CRC16.X25 was the info I was missing. I'm currently working in Python. I'm still a bit unclear on the character stuffing, but now that I know what the correct checksum is I should be able to figure it out.

Thanks again!
