Anyone know a module that does CRC16 for Python? I have an aplication
that I need to run it, and am not having alot of sucess. I have a
program in C that uses a CRC16 according to CCITT standards, but need
to get a program that tests it with python as well. Thanks!
I'll include one below. There's a tricky bit in that most standards
assume a serial bit stream, not byte data, leading to the relection
issue discussed in the reference in the doc. Let me know if gets
the same answers as your C version.
