 calculate 8-bit CRC cyclic redundancy check

Detailed Description

RS485 Library.

Can send from 1 to 255 bytes from one node to another with:

Packet start indicator (STX) Each data byte is doubled and inverted to check validity Packet end indicator (ETX) Packet CRC (checksum)

Using MAX485 modules or the MAX485 CSA+

Example: 

  #include "mbed.h" 
  #include <RS485.h>
  Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); 
  RS485 RS485(PC_10,PC_11,PB_3); // Tx, Rx , !RE and DE MAX485 pin
 
  DigitalOut ho(PB_3); // this pin should be connected to !RE and DE
  typedef uint8_t byte;
 
  byte regvalue[9];
  byte data[9] = {0x01,0x04,0x00,0x48,0x00,0x02,0xf1,0xdd};//your data
  int main()
  {
    pc.printf("main\n");
    while(1) {
       pc.printf("Starting\n");
       ho = 1;                  // Enable sending on MAX485
       RS485.sendMsg(data,sizeof(data));
       wait_ms(600);            // Must wait for all the data to be sent   
       ho = 0;                  // Enable receiving on MAX485
       pc.printf("Getting data\n");
       if(RS485.readable() >0){
           memset(regvalue,0,sizeof(regvalue));
           wait_ms(200);
           RS485.recvMsg(regvalue,sizeof(data),500);
           wait_ms(200);
           for (int count = 0; count < 9; count++) {
               pc.printf("%X - ", regvalue[count]);
           }
       }else printf("No Data\n");
       printf("Done\n");
       wait_ms(1000);
    }
  }

lenlength of byte of information were converting
Returns:
the CRC byte

Definition at line 19 of file RS485.cpp.

byte recvMsg ( byte *  data,
const byte  length,
unsigned long  timeout 
)

receive message reads serial port and populates data

Parameters:
databuffer to receive into
lengthlength of the data
timeoutclock_mseconds before timing out
Returns:
the number of bytes received

void sendComplemented ( const byte  what )

sendComplemented byte send a byte complemented, repeated only values sent would be (in hex): 0F, 1E, 2D, 3C, 4B, 5A, 69, 78, 87, 96, A5, B4, C3, D2, E1, F0 the byte to complement

Definition at line 37 of file RS485.cpp.

void sendMsg ( const byte *  data,

Parameters:
datathe data to be sent through RS485
lengthlength of the data
Note:
puts STX at start, ETX at end, and add CRC
