Re: Status and Error Bytes from Dashboard Packet
I've always been going off the documentation of Eric Haskins, but I don't know what the LV dashboard lays out. Later today I'll check how my code interprets the packet (I wrote it a while back) and let you know if your code looks right. At first glance that looks fine, but I'll double check for you.

The version bytes are ASCII. Also, don't forget to calculate your crc32 checksum and make sure it matches with the checksum at the end of the packet before doing any other parsing - otherwise your code is just wasting time with bad data.
