Is it possible to read the hex serial data stream from a Waveshare TOF distance sensor, extract values from the hex string, restore to hex data and convert to decimal, with just a template sensor?
Example:
- TOF serial data hex stream output: 57 00 ff 00 b3 5d 49 00 ec 06 00 01 64 00 ff 05
- Distance fields: ec 06 00
- little-endian conversion: 0006ec
- decimal conversion: 1772
TOF sensor is connected to a ftdi and serial data are read by an RPI serial port (checked with a TOF10120 sensor, that only transmits the distance value in decimal and works)
