checksum for ComPort

[clamprod]

I need to include a Checksum byte in my command line to the ComPort. Any direction in generating the packet checksum would be appreciated.

Thanks, folks!

this is an example in ruby

Code: Select all

string_data = @ins[0]

# this is line for test only, comment this to use input
string_data = "this is the data string" 
####

checksum = 0
string_data.each_byte {|x| checksum ^= x }
output 0, checksum # with test line active this output have, checksum => 96
