Hi, Ive come up with a way to parse out packets from a serial datastream that works but is possibly the ugliest thing Ive ever done and Id wonder about its resilience. If anyone could have a look and advise a better way of doing this I'd really appreciate it. Essentially each packet of the data looks like so 7E 42 FF FF 06 7D 5D 0D 01 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX CRC CRC
where the first XX XX represents a 10-bit ADC value in little endian format (LSB MSB) from sensor 1. There are 6 sensors in total.
I put together a patch based on searching for 7e 42 FF FF. 7E and FF will never appear in the data part Im promised.
I have no control over the data stream format as thats handled by another guy.
Anyway my approach uses [route] and loads of [spigot] to look for the 7E 42 FF FF and when it finds it bang a [repack] that has been "buffering" the data. That goes to [unpack] to unpack the bytes.
Any pointers to a nicer way would be great. Ive attached the monster. Thanks Nick
