 To refresh your memory, here is a diagram of the circuit you can build to drive the LEDbar:
+{{:haas:fall2019:c4eng:projects:ledbar.png?400|}}
+Be sure to use 220 Ohm resistors for this.
+=====Program=====
+It is your task to adapt your bcf0 program so that, upon accepting various pieces of input from the user, acts as a binary counter, lighting up the resultant LEDs in binary (1 being on, 0 being off), inserting an adequate delay so we can watch as it proceeds from a starting to an ending value.
+=====Specifications=====
+Your program should:
+  * have valid, descriptive variable names of length //no shorter than// 4 symbols
+  * have consistent, well-defined indentation (no less than 4 spaces per level of indentation)
+    * all code within the same scope aligned to its indentation level
+  * have proximal comments explaining your rationale and what is going on, throughout your code
+  * to STDERR, prompt for the starting value (0-1023)
+    * properly store this in a variable of type **signed short int**
+  * to STDERR, prompt for the ending value (0-1023)
+    * properly store this in a variable of type **signed short int**
+  * immediately after each input, check to make sure starting and ending values fall appropriately in the range stated; if in violation, display an error (to STDERR) and exit with a non-zero value.
+  * check the starting and ending values to determine if we are to perform an incrementation or a decrementation.
+  * in binary, display the starting number and all the others as well to the LEDs
+  * proceed to the next value in sequence, doing the same
+  * keep going until you have arrived at the ending value, visualizing it on the LEDs it as well
+  * using a single return statement at the conclusion of the code, return a 0 indicating successful operation
+  * if you do not have an LEDbar component (or a fully working LEDbar component), substitute as appropriate with individual LEDs (don't forget the resistors!)
+Some additional points of consideration:
+  * Note that the driving variables in your loops need to be at least of type **short int**, otherwise you may get a warning when you compile it.
+=====Execution=====
+====Sample incrementation run====
+<cli>
+pi@raspberrypi:~/src/c4eng/epf1$ ./epf1
+Enter starting value (0-1023): 12
+Enter ending value (0-1023): 28
+pi@raspberrypi:~/src/c4eng/epf1$
+</cli>
+The execution of the program is short and simple- obtain the input, do the processing, produce the output, and then terminate.

+Enter starting value (0-1023): 17
+Enter ending value (0-1023): 0

 You should get some sort of confirmation indicating successful submission if all went according to plan. If not, check for typos and or locational mismatches.
-What I'll be looking for:
-<code>
-:epf1:final tally of results (78/78)
-*:epf1:proper error checking and status reporting performed [13/13]
-*:epf1:correct variable types and name lengths used [13/13]
-*:epf1:proper output formatting per specifications [13/13]
-*:epf1:runtime tests of submitted program succeed [13/13]
-*:epf1:no negative compiler messages for program [13/13]
-*:epf1:code is pushed to lab46 repository [13/13]
-</code>
-Additionally:
-  * Solutions not abiding by spirit of project will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
-  * Solutions not utilizing descriptive why and how comments will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
-  * Solutions not utilizing indentation to promote scope and clarity will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
-  * Solutions not organized and easy to read are subject to a 25% overall deduction
