Hi all ,

Currently i am trying to communicate with Vending machine through DEX protocol via STM32.But i could not calculate accurate CRC-16 byte so i receive always an error.There are many online calculator about crc-16 but none of them worked for me.Is there anybody worked with crc-16 in c language and in stm32 syntax?

Yes

One has to consider the polynomial, initial state, shift direction of data and CRC. Do you have an example of the data and correct CRC bytes?

// Generic CRC-CCITT 16 bit implementation for buffer/stream validation
// This is a minimal code space version, a fast parallel table routine
// could be used if time/throughput is critical
WORD CRC16(WORD Crc, DWORD Size, BYTE *Buffer)
{
while(Size--)
{
int i;
Crc = Crc ^ ((WORD)*Buffer++ << 8);
for(i=0; i<8; i++)
if (Crc & 0x8000)
Crc = (Crc << 1) ^ 0x1021;
else
Crc = (Crc << 1);
}
return(Crc);
}
Use
Crc = CRC16(0xFFFF, sizeof(Buffer), Buffer);

Thanks clive,

that is point! i have no correct crc byte for any data stream.But i know i need to use 0xa001 as polynomial.Also what is the magic of the initial value?What is the difference between 0xFFFF and 0x0000?.

Ex. my string is ''6150210000RR01L01''. Whenever i try use different algorithm for calculating crc byte, i have different crc values even if polynomial and initial value is same.

Think of the CRC as the remainder from a complex long division. If you have the math or numbers wrong, the answer will also be wrong.

No, I'm looking for examples of actual bus transactions, either ones captured from a functional system, or provided as complete examples with the appropriate CRC as part of the specification.

Thanks for your great support clive.This totally will help me.There is not any example for DEX implementation at least i could not find any.

Glad it helped, were you able to confirm a successful response from your equipment?

It took me a bit of fishing to find the details I was looking for, basically the CRC being used, and the data over which it was being applied. This should at least show up in a Google/Bing search if someone tries in the future.

yep it worked perfectly.Like i said before , there are many algorithm and calculation tools for crc but all of them has different purpose i guess related with polynomial.According to my resarch crc calculation is used for network operations(data transmission).In my case vending machine systems.Thanks again clive you are INDEED ''1'' :)
