i have an input given as a list input=[1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0]. What am i supposed to convert this list to in order for that function to return the expected output 0x420B?

420B is returned by this particular variant of crc16 if you feed it with b'45377 So if you can figure out the connection between that & your list you're good to go. Unfortunately nothing obvious comes to mind.

Well converting it from binary to hexadecimal it’s 0x92 and according to https://crccalc.com/ that should return 420B for CRC-16-CCITT-FALSE. If that is a different one than the above code, how can i change the code for this variant that i need?

return('{:04X}'.format(crc))

Thanks, it works. Is there a better way to convert the list to be in a suitable format than this ChatGPT suggestion? (i'm very new to python)
bits_string = ''.join(str(bit) for bit in input_list)
int_value = int(bits_string, 2)
hex_value = hex(int_value)
hex_string = hex_value.replace('0x', '0x0') if len(hex_value) % 2 == 1 else hex_value
hex_value = bytes.fromhex(hex_string[2:])
crc=crc16(hex_value)

@pragma31 if I have a payload like this : " 623e0200000000000000000000000000" where 623e is crc given by a software i want to verify it , so what should i pass to get this value to the function that you have written here crc16 , thanks
same if i want to use https://crccalc.com/

@oysstu could you please guide me how could I use this code.
My data is (hex) E3BCBEBEA65EB3B87266124B2B238B6B
Polynomial is 0x1021
