Data output (20 bytes message):
MFXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXYCRC8
- Header (two characters): M (77 decimal / 0x4D hex)
and F (70 decimal / 0x46 hex)
- Distance reading in millimeters** (2 bytes per
sensor): XX
- 8-bit-mask indicating if sensor is connected (1) or not
(0):Y
- Checksum (1 byte) of previous 19 bytes: CRC8
**if a sensor is not connected, or the interface board is
unable to obtain a distance measurement from the sensor,
the associated distance value is replaced by the
hexadecimal value 0xFFFF. You can figure out if a sensor is
connected or not reading by evaluating the 8-bit-mask Y.
