Output data format (user selectable; RC1 or RC2)
$RC1,<time>,<count>,<xacc>,<yacc>,<zacc>,<xgyro>,<ygyro>,<zgyro>,
<rpm>,<a1>,<a2>,<a3>,<a4>,<a5>*checksum
Or
$RC2,<time>,<count>,<xacc>,<yacc>,<zacc>,
<d1>,<d2>,<a1>,<a2>,<a3>,<a4>,<a5>,<a6>,<a7>,<a8>*checksum
Where:
- $ is message start character
- RC1 or RC2 is message identifier
- Time stamp is not used (empty)
- count is an overflowing line counter 0-65535
- xacc,yacc,zacc,xgyro,ygyro,zgyro fields are not used so far (empty)
- dx are digital channel fields, range 0-65535
- ax are analog channel fields, range 0-65535, negative values roll back to 65535 (-1)
- * is message separator character
