the crc is correct.The reason for the two commands are for two different
functions. The first one labeled "pkt" is to reset the reader, and the
second "auto_read" is to enable the auto read mode on the reader. Both
functions are working properly, when I connect to the reader using a serial
port utility program I'm able to receive the output so the transmission from
octave to the reader is functioning properly. the issue I'm facing now is
receiving data from the reader.
