A little more info is below:
With miniterm modified to output hex to the screen,
here is the data coming in unformatted. (note zero
bytes delimit end of packet):
c:\Python23>python miniterm1.1a.py
--- Miniterm --- type ESC to quit
0002860104DB203F01000002860504CB1A7401000002860504CB1B7401000002860504CB1B740100
0002860504CB1B7401000002860504CB1B7401000002860504CB1B7401000002860504CB1B740100
0002860504CB1B7401000002860504CB1B7401000002860504CB1B740100
Here I have formatted it(one line equals a packet,
currently about every 30 seconds):
c:\Python23>python miniterm1.1a.py
--- Miniterm --- type ESC to quit
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-01-04-DB-20-3E-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
00-02-86-05-04-CB-1B-74-01-00
here is what the data will look like after COBS
decoding (the zero bytes are real data):
86-00-04-CB-1B-74-00
86-00-04-CB-1B-74-00
86-00-04-CB-1B-74-00
86-00-04-CB-1B-74-00
86-00-04-CB-1B-74-00
86-00-04-CB-1B-74-00
86-00-04-CB-1B-74-00
For those who are curious as to what I am doing, here
is what telemetry is in the packet:
packe type = 0x86
Device ID = 0x0004
Payload:
----Batt Volt. = 0xCB
----Pot Volt. = 0x1B
----Temp Volt. = 0x74
----sw 1 = 0
----sw 2 = 0
----sw 3 = 0
----sw 4 = 0
----Btn 1 = 0
----Btn 2 = 0
----Yel LED = 0
----Red LED = 0
Thanks,
mike
