## Building
Implemented and tested on:
|     Platform    |             OS            |                     compiler                    |
|-----------------|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
|      Linux      |     Ubuntu 20.04.1 WLS2   |    gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2)   |
|     Windows     |     Windows 10.0.19043    | gcc version 11.2.0 (MinGW-W64 x86_64-posix-seh) |
|   Raspberry Pi  | Linux raspberrypi 5.10.17 |     gcc version 8.3.0 (Raspbian 8.3.0-6+rpi1)   |

#### LINUX
* CLIENT - `gcc client.c -Wall -Werror -Wextra -o client`
* SERVER - `gcc server.c rs232.c -Wall -Werroe -Wextra -o client`
#### WINDOWS
* CLIENT - `gcc client.c -Wall -Wextra -lwsock32 -o client`
* SERVER - `gcc server.c rs232.c -lwsock32 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -o client`

## Launch
#### Server
Server can be launched with 1 or 2 input parameters. The number of parameters determines what mode will be used - manual or automatic mode. 

**port** - 

**config_file** - 

* Manual mode - server waits for input commands from client, sends them to laser sensor and returns results back to client
`./server <port>` 

* Automatic mode - server loads variables from configuration file *config.txt*, starts measuring and sends results to client continuously.
`./server <port> [config_file]`

#### Client
Client has to be lauched with 2 input parameters.

**IP address** - 

**port** -
