it could be a stream of data for 7 segment display array, that's updated 50 times a second . ie every bit represents a segment

It actually worked! Some of my times are off a bit so the numbers looked a little funny but overall the comms works well. What I also found interesting is that the controller sent the data every 2.5mS but it's not even necessary. I sent it once and the numbers stayed on the scoreboard.
Thanks to all who helped.
Sending the message constantly would reduce potential for noise interpreted as data interfering with the display too long,
but checksumming the message would better achieve that.
