This is exactly what i was looking for....
For those following, the \x00 added at the end of the
packet is just imaginary and represents
in the meantime, I made the following that just
'decobs' a series of packets (only 8-10 bytes) that
are coming in over the com port. (my incoming packets
also begin with x00 for some reason)
It accurately decodes that data stream (same result as
when I esc out and connect with the dev kit program)
I need to use what you have given me to make it
scalable for size
