olin-networking-class's Issues

Add "\" character.

We need to add the "" character to our morse code library. There is a predefined one for "real-world" Morse code - just find it and add it.

Capture and return received messages.

Currently, messages received by morse_code is simply printed (if it's to us). See line 113 in morse_code.py. What needs to happen is:

• Instead of being printed, messages are pushed down to a new queue.
• A helper function named returnMessage can be used to pull a message from the queue. Look to the function returnData in UDP_Server.py for a format of this function.

This is so that the layer above morse_code (currently morse_socket) can access the messages received by this layer.

Padding port in packet.

When the port (source or destination) is, say, 7, it is encoded into the packet as '7', when the port field should actually be two characters, i.e. '07'.

Eliminate use of the '+' opcode

Currently, the end of a message is determined by looking at the '+' opcode instead of the length field. (see morse_code.py line 112) Instead, the len field of the packet should be used to determine the end of the packet.

Source address cascading down

Currently, the device's address is assigned in morse_socket.py. However, the "source" field is filled in inside of morse_code.py, which currently does not have access to the device's address.

Probable solution: pass source into morse_code.py's sendMassage function. If this route is take, be sure to eliminate self.ourMac from morse_code.py and clean up any references to it.
