Proof of Concept - Encode/Decode Bytes Functions

Link to functions in IMACS repository (encode-decode-bytes branch)

encode.py (encoding function)

• receives a message – of type string – as a parameter and encodes it into space-separated hexadecimal values.

• the encoded value is joined with other relevant information (temporarily hardcoded) included from the Array of Bytes documentation found in Ground-Side-Telemetry

decode.py (decoding function)

• recevies and paritions and an encoded message – passed as string – and a integer base (defaulted at 16)

• relevant information (e.g message length, frame type, etc.) are extracted, decoded, and stored in a dictionary res to be returned at the end of the function
