SoF : 0xFF PACKET SIZE PACKET NUM CMD : 0x00E2 CHANNEL ADDRESS EOF CONFIG* DATA CHECKSUM
SoF Start of Frame. Always 0xFF.
PACKET SIZE Packet Size In Bytes
PACKET NUM The Current Packet Number. This value increments with each new packet or repeats for a multi packet command.
CMD I2C Write Command.
CHANNEL I2C channel to write to.
ADDRESS I2C slave address.
EOF CONFIG* End of frame configuration. 0x00 = Default 0x01 = Restart 0x02 = Restart No Stop 0x03 = No Stop
DATA Variable Length. Data to write to the I2C channel.
CHECKSUM Checksum. Computed by adding all of the bytes in the packet in U8 form ignoring rollover.
