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 final 2 pairs of characters represent the remaining segments of the display.

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.
