I see where you're getting at.

So I'm looking for a way to get byte(FF)+timestamp+byte(FF) into a buffer so I can use fwrite to get that buffer into the file.

Trying to create a buffer for the FF byte should be something like this I suppose:

Code:

	CHAR byteBuffer[1];
	byteBuffer[0] = 255;
	printf("byteBuffer: %X \n", byteBuffer);

But it is not working as expected:
Output: "byteBuffer: BFFFF48F"
Expected: "byteBuffer: FF"

How do I tell C that 255 is a single byte value?
