Good 'ol UART. I was thinking of maybe doing a write-up of how I reverse engineered my Fireplace controller's UART using a sniffer cable and two USB-to-UART dongles. I've documented my findings here: https://bonaparte.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system_information.html https://bonaparte.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system_informatio... But I thought maybe a write-up of how to approach a project like this would be beneficial for beginners, like I was when I started this project a few months ago. I'd love to hear feedback from people more knowledgeable than me on this. I was struggling especially with finding and using the accurate terminology to describe things like packet (or is it message?) formats and such.
