Miles Tag payload help (no example code)

Version/revision of the library used

Describe the bug

What is a proper payload for using this library. Specifically I am using sendMilestag2, but the receiver is always returning unknown.

There is no MilesTag example program.

Using IRSendDemo what would be a valid shot payload to sendMilestag2?

Thus far this isnt working.

uint64_t shot = 0x0123019;

Ideally, I would like to send player # team # and damage

What does the data packet to be sent look like given the notes from 2.1 on http://hosting.cmalton.me.uk/chrism/lasertag/MT2Proto.pdf

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

I have no idea about how the data in the protocol works other than the document you've linked to.
Perhaps @vitos1k might be able to help you.

Try capturing some known messages using IRrecvDumpV3 to see what they decode to.

I guess my question was more about how much of the actual payload gets handled by the API vs the data I send. In any case, sending known shots from a laser blaser cleared things up.

uint64_t data = 0xF8A; // Team A
uint64_t data = 0xFAA; // Team B

Now the docs make sense and IRrecvDumpV3 is showing MilesTag2 as the payload type.
// Team 1 Player 1 - 00000001 001111 = 013c
// Team 1 Player 2 - 00000010 001111 = 023c
// Team 2 Player 1 - 00000011 011111 = 037c
// Team 2 Player 2 - 00000101 011111 = 057c

Thanks again for making this extensive library!
