These functions are fairly simple and only act as device-specific wrappers around the sending and
receiving of commands.
Printing Packets
The function that prints the packet is called from the sender & receiver, just to make it easier to
determine which (sender vs. receiver) was doing the printing. Here is the code for the PrintPacket
function.
void PrintPacket(uint8_t* pkt)
{
int len = pkt[0]+1;
int i = 0;
printf("Packet length: %i\n", len);
for (i=0 ; i< len ; i++)
