The CRC checking used by the WeatherLink is based on the CRC-CCITT standard. The heart of
the method involves a CRC-accumulator that uses the following formula on each successive data
byte. After all the data bytes have been "accumulated", there will be a two byte CRC checksum
that will get processed in the same manner as the data bytes. If there has been no transmission
error, then the final CRC-accumulator value will be 0 (assuming it was set to zero before
accumulating data).
In the following code, "crc" is the crc accumulator (16 bits or 2 bytes), "data" is the data or CRC
checksum byte to be accumulated, and "crc_table" is the table of CRC value found in the array
below. The operator "^" is an exclusive-or (XOR), ">> 8" shifts the data right by one byte
(divides by 256), and "<< 8" shifts the data left by one byte (multiplies by 256).
crc = crc_table [(crc >> 8) ^ data] ^ (crc << 8);
unsigned short crc_table [] = {

When sending a CRC to the console, always send the most significant byte first. This is the
opposite of how regular data values are sent where the least significant byte is sent first.
