This is the code submission for Elliot Couvignou

:::WINDOWS::: to run this progrom all you need to do is:

0. Open cmd change to this directory
1. type gcc Distinguish.c to compile
2. type a.exe to run the program
3. enter size of packet
4. enter each index (0x__) separated by enter presses
5. check my result :)

:::FOR LINUX::: To run this program all you need to do is:

0. Open a terminal change to this directory
1. type make to compile (Note: uses gcc)
2. type ./test to begin
3. enter size of packet
4. enter each index (0x__) separated by enter presses
5. check my result :)

if for some reason things dont work try **/make clean ** and repeat the steps.

Functions I wrote and their purpose:

• int main(void) : main loop that gathers user inputs as packet data to be distinguished. This function calls Distinguish(uint8_t *data) and then checks wether this function was successful at reading the data.

• *int Distinguish(uint8_t data) : Takes a pointer to the data packet and then looks into the data to find the message_type, length, and ID. Then check the message type to be Display (x34), motor message (x80) or neither. If the message type is known then the message_data is created following the appropriate data structure depending on message_type. Then call the correct function inputting the message_data.

            returns: 0 if the packet was successfully read
                     -1 if the packet has invalid data type or message_type

• void display_message(char message, uint16_t message_length)* : This function first prompts to the user that this specific function was called. Then displays the message in ASCII by looping through the char array/string.

• void update_motor(int32_t forwardback, int32_t leftright) : This function first prompts the user that this specific function was called. Then it displays the forward_back and left_right data as a signed integer.
