Table 4 Supported commands
The command structure is shown below.
Sync Byte Address Command1 Command2 Data1 Data2 Checksum

The Sync Byte (synchronization byte) is always 0xFF. The address is the logical address of the receiver/driver being
controlled. The check sum is a 8-bits value calculated by modulo256 of the payload data that consists of 5 bytes (from
"Address" to "Data2"). After sending a command, you should basically wait for the reply from the lens.
