I am trying to generate a CRC-16 using C#. The hardware I am using for RS232 requires the input string to be HEX. The screenshot below shows the correct conversion, For a test, I need 8000 to be 0xC061, however the C# method that generates CRC-16 must be able to convert any given HEX string.
I have tried using Nito.KitchenSink.CRC
I have also tried the below which generates 8009 when 8000 is inputted -
public string CalcCRC16(string strInput)
{
ushort crc = 0x0000;
byte[] data = GetBytesFromHexString(strInput);
for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
{
crc ^= (ushort)(data[i] << 8);
for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++)
{
if ((crc & 0x8000) > 0)
crc = (ushort)((crc << 1) ^ 0x8005);
else
crc <<= 1;
}
}
return crc.ToString("X4");
}
public Byte[] GetBytesFromHexString(string strInput)
{
Byte[] bytArOutput = new Byte[] { };
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strInput) && strInput.Length % 2 == 0)
{
SoapHexBinary hexBinary = null;
try
{
hexBinary = SoapHexBinary.Parse(strInput);
if (hexBinary != null)
{
bytArOutput = hexBinary.Value;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
return bytArOutput;
}
Here we go; note that this is a specific flavor of CRC-16 - it is confusing to say just "CRC-16". This borrows some implementation specifics from http://www.sanity-free.com/ - note I have made it static
rather than instance-based.
using System;
static class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string input = "8000";
var bytes = HexToBytes(input);
string hex = Crc16.ComputeChecksum(bytes).ToString("x2");
Console.WriteLine(hex); //c061
}
static byte[] HexToBytes(string input)
{
byte[] result = new byte[input.Length / 2];
for(int i = 0; i < result.Length; i++)
{
result[i] = Convert.ToByte(input.Substring(2 * i, 2), 16);
}
return result;
}
public static class Crc16
{
const ushort polynomial = 0xA001;
static readonly ushort[] table = new ushort[256];
public static ushort ComputeChecksum(byte[] bytes)
{
ushort crc = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; ++i)
{
byte index = (byte)(crc ^ bytes[i]);
crc = (ushort)((crc >> 8) ^ table[index]);
}
return crc;
}
static Crc16()
{
ushort value;
ushort temp;
for (ushort i = 0; i < table.Length; ++i)
{
value = 0;
temp = i;
for (byte j = 0; j < 8; ++j)
{
if (((value ^ temp) & 0x0001) != 0)
{
value = (ushort)((value >> 1) ^ polynomial);
}
else
{
value >>= 1;
}
temp >>= 1;
}
table[i] = value;
}
}
}
}
