    If the records are byte aligned you could use a struct with bit-fields and let the compiler do the work. tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_bit_fields.htm Commented May 22, 2016 at 10:11
  • Another alternative is to define a BitStream class that operates on a Stream (Serial). Typical member function would be uint16_t read(uint8_t bits). The class would have to buffer any remaining bits for the next read, etc. drdobbs.com/bitstream-parsing-in-c/184402014 Commented May 22, 2016 at 10:13
