In this segment at the code:

 if (bit_position == 8) {
    strncat(message, &rx_byte, 1);                   <--- here is the problem
  }

maybe we have a problem because i got this error code while compiling:
invalid conversion from 'volatile byte* {aka volatile unsigned char*}' to 'const char*' [-fpermissive]
So i hope you can help me!

Since the receiver has a 16 char buffer right now it can only receive and print the first 15 characters due to the terminal \0 bit sent. Increase this buffer to allocate 17 chars if you want a 16 character message.

(This buffer will probably be overwritten for longer transmissions in future videos, and is just a quick fix if anyone has a similar issue)
