One thing I noticed is that you have a numeric constant starting with zero.

#define I03     02

In C, when a numeric constant starts with zero, it's an octal constant 
(base 8). You're ok with 02 since it means 2 in both decimal and octal.

But if was a constant like 023, it would be 19 in octal (2*8 + 3).
