Hyperion Charger and Test Controller (TC) application

This is some info about the definition file (Hyperion.txt) I made for the Hyperion EOS1420inet3 charger device, tested with the Test Controller (TC) (https://lygte-info.dk/project/TestControllerIntro%20UK.html). The main work that remains is to decipher the CRC/Checksum algorithm. A few weeks later...

Deciphering this checksum is a big word. It's more like when do you start looking at this problem? :-) Well, now it's done and looks quite easy. As an example, let's take the below returned value without the spaces and without the checksum value (0F9C):

• First, convert this value to ASCII. Result: 48,48,52,69,67,49,48,48,48,49,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,56,48,48,53,48,48,55,68,48,48,53,68,67,48,50,66,67,48,48,49,50,48,48,51,51,48,48,54,50,48,49,50,67,48,48,49,52,48,48,70,65,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48
• Calculate the SUM: Result: 3996
• Convert the result to HEX: Result: F9C
• Add a zero in front and you are done! Niiiice

That will allow sending any commands to the device. See here for a discussion about this topic.
