Identifying each arduino may be a challenge. Naming convention...

Shoudl we add a name configuration? Use the built-in MAC?

phillipjohnston commented 4 years ago

This could be another optional configuration option in the EEPROM, where we provide an option to set a name. Default is Athena-<last 4 of mac>.

phillipjohnston commented 4 years ago

I would set a 16 character limit just so we don't eat up too much space.

phillipjohnston commented 4 years ago

Name should also be printed on boot.

And... we likely want a name API in the EEPROM library.
