CRC-8 Checksum Example

This repository provides a bare-bones working example of how to calculate the CRC8 checksum used in OEM WP Raman Spectrometers.

The Cyclic Redunancy Check byte is used for error detection and is identical to that of Maxim/Dallas 1-wire devices, called DOW CRC. This calculation produces an 8-bit CRC value using the polynomial X^8 + X^5 + X^4 + X^0.
