Beeton Update

Beeton Update

Beeton has grown a lot over the last few months, although it is not noticeable at the moment.

Lighthread was completely overhauled to bypass CLI mode and use the now available built-in Thread commands. This makes it smaller, and easier to debug.

Beeton itself had major work done on the packet format, and structuring to make it so an end user does not need to assemble numbers between bool and int32 in size back together manually. It will do that itself and just work.

Beeton also had its reliability reestablished, network healing fixed, and modes of sleepiness. This means a board could be set to dormant to wake every 15 minutes and dump data over the network and go back to sleep, this enables embedded sensors to exist.

Finally, the problem of initial table creation. This is still a major pain point, but it grew so much, it is now my master's project at Carleton University! Figuring out how to have the leader know who's available, what everyone is, and how to pass info around is now my point of research!
