Re: Slider with Checksum

For the string \x08\x22\x01\x00\x00\x10 the checksum is C5

It's the 2's complement of the sum of all the values (That's what the
manual says). Now the way I understand this, is that it is basically
the sum of
(08+22+01+00+00+10) = 3B
Then take the inverse of 3B which is C5

I have an excel spreadsheet that can calculate this. You can also do
this in the windows scientific calculator. I can email you
spreadsheet if you like.

Here are the steps in the windows scientific calculator:
1) Scientific mode
2) Set to Hex
3) Set to Byte
4) Add up 08+22+01+00+00+10
5) Should = 3B
6) To get the inverse simply click the "+/-" button and the output
should be C5
