So I am an intern trying to develop a BACnet automated control system, This is my first time working with BACnet and I know only a basic functionality of its protocol. I've used ASN.1 protocol with the asn1c compiler which converted my code to a C format. I'm having a very difficult time finding a clear example on how to implement the code for a number of reasons. 1, I'm not entirely sure how ASN.1 actually works, and 2, now that the code has been converted to C, its appears vastly different, and the physical syntax is hanging me up. I was wondering if someone could explain the actual process by which ASN.1 transmits data. I've read that using ASN.1 its possible for a cell phone to communicate with a super computer, I would like to know exactly how, and also, if anyone has a clear "idiot-proof" example of how to actually decode and encode message that can be read from and written to a BACnet device. Any help is greatly appreciated
