#183282 - Error detecting codes over RS232
I've knocked out a command set for a project that contains just 37 commands (at the moment). I've each command as a single byte, and I've chosen from only the ASCII printable bytes. This means that all commands are atomic, and I can exercise my target from a terminal program without having to write a test app that understands the protocol. My client has now asked whether I can add error detection to the protocol to reject comms glitches. I will change the RS232 frames from no parity to even parity to give the most basic checking, but I was wondering if I can do better.

Can someone tell me if I can increase the error detection capability by chosing different command bytes, but still retain the ability to type them into a termianl program?
