Checker

Calculates the checksum of the data frame passed to it, based on the parity table provided.

Extracts the CRC value from a data frame last 3 bytes.

Fixer

Tries to fix a single bit on a message by transversing it and xor'ing each bit and comparing that new message checksum with the original CRC value.

Quick Examples

Pass it a buffer to the actual ADSB packet and the number of bits in the packet.

var checker = require('modes-crc')

var data = [93, 77, 32, 35, 122, 85, 166]

var packetChecksum = checker.checksum(data, checker.MODES_SHORT_MSG)

It will do a parity check and output a checksum that should be equal to the result of the packet CRC obtained by

var checker = require('modes-crc')

var data = [93, 77, 32, 35, 122, 85, 166]

var packetCrc = checker.crc(data, checker.MODES_SHORT_MSG)
