Protocol
The MCU transmits serial data to the CH9325 at 2400 baud. A packet is 27 bytes of ASCII data ending in CR, LF.
The packet is processed to turn it into a valid hex string - any character with an ASCII value above 0x39 is shifted up by 7 characters, putting it into the range 'A' to 'F'.
The first character seems to be ignored. The next 5 pairs of characters represent the RPM (least significant digit first). The next 5 pairs of characters represent the time (least significant digit first). The remaining characters are unknown at this point.
Each pair of characters, when interpreted as a single hex byte, is a bitfield representing the on/off state of segments on the display. A look-up table is provided below. Setting the most significant bit indicates that a decimal point is placed after that digit.
| String | Hex Byte | Character |
|---|---|---|
| "7;" | 0x7B | 0 |
| "60" | 0x60 | 1 |
| "5>" | 0x5E | 2 |
| "7<" | 0x7C | 3 |
| "65" | 0x65 | 4 |
| "3=" | 0x3D | 5 |
| "3?" | 0x3F | 6 |
| "70" | 0x70 | 7 |
| "7?" | 0x7F | 8 |
| "7=" | 0x7D | 9 |
| "0;" | 0x0B | L |
