The '0x' prefix means that the number following is in hex (base 16) instead of decimal (base 10).

So, hex 0xFF = decimal 255 and because we include 0, you have 256 different numbers or codes to play with.

Oh yeah, I agree with spacemadnes about your first question. Most of it makes no sense. What does 'the it just receives the data correct' mean? In your 2nd post, you will notice that you actually took time to articulate what you wanted to ask much more clearly.

Um wait a second. How would i get the byte then the information onto the buffer?
i.e. he showd it using message[0] for the first byte, and message[1] for the message! when you send message does it send both of those?

In a word, yes.

The send function sends however much you want it to send, one of the parameters is the number of bytes to send. So just feed it sizeof(message) or something and it will send the entire array. It doesn''t send packets one byte at a time that would be insanely wasteful.
