Patch to support new KarateLight Checksum-Feature #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,

Attached is a small patch which implements the simple checksum required by the 
new KarateLight firmware.
I know its not 'clean' since i use plain numbering for the bytes-sequence, but 
i am not sure how to do better.

So eh, what does it do exactly?

It calculates a simple checksum.
The method is XOR over all bytes in the output-buffer. Then the checksum is 
then placed as the third byte in the output-buffer.

If the checksum fails verification on the KarateLight-Hardware data is 
discarded.
