- decodeError.py: Take the return message of a R11 (read error) command and print it in human-readable form.
- writeRead.py: Send messages to the controller and receive answers.
These scripts can be run from anywhere. On Linux, the shebang (#!) automatically
calls the system Python 3 executable:
```bash
# To show the help, use either flag -h or --help (works on all scripts)
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/decodeStatus.py -h
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/decodeError.py --help
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/writeRead.py -h
# To run in non-interactive mode, give the value as an argument
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/decodeStatus.py 1234
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/decodeError.py 5678
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/writeRead.py "R11"
# To run in interactive mode, don't give any argument. This only works on Linux
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/decodeStatus.py
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/decodeError.py
/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/writeRead.py
```
To use these scripts on Windows, prefix the Python 3 executable:
```bash
C:/path/to/python3.exe C:/path/to/mastermacs_repo/utils/decodeStatus.py 1234
