Extract Packet Fields from Byte Stream

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct {
    uint8_t start;
    uint8_t command;
    uint16_t data;
    uint8_t crc;
    uint8_t end;
} Packet;

void print_packet_fields(uint8_t *buffer) {
    // Overlay struct and print values
    Packet myPacket;
    myPacket.start = buffer[0];
    myPacket.command = buffer[1];
    myPacket.data = (((uint16_t) buffer[3])  << 8) | buffer[2];
    myPacket.crc = buffer[4];
    myPacket.end = buffer[5];

    printf("Start: %u\n", myPacket.start);
    printf("Command: %u\n", myPacket.command);
    printf("Data: %u\n", myPacket.data);
    printf("CRC: %u\n", myPacket.crc);
    printf("End: %u\n", myPacket.end);


}

int main() {
    uint8_t buffer[6];
    for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        scanf("%hhu", &buffer[i]);
    }
    print_packet_fields(buffer);
    return 0;
}
