Creating a base test library

[francescomasala]

As the lego EV3 blocks avoid crashing into each other, we need to create a network consisting of a server and multiple clients connected to each other via bluetooth.

The key milestones are:

• [ ] The library has to be able to work through threads or async methods, I have to decide and try how to do it.
• [ ] It has to be stable enough so that it doesn't crash in the middle of the race and fuck everything up.
• [ ] It must occupy as few resources as possible as these legos have few resources available (seems logical)
• [ ] It must be able to support multiple mailboxes at a time and process the various inputs received from the client blocks: fuel, colours, junction management and fleet management
• [ ] This python library must make me a coffee (at least)

And I have to do the wiki, obviously

Update: I've found the async lib

#!/usr/bin/env pybricks-micropython
import uasyncio as asyncio

async def bar():
    count = 0
    while True:
        count += 1
        print(count)
        await asyncio.sleep(1)  # Pause 1s

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.create_task(bar()) # Schedule ASAP
loop.run_forever()

To Do:

• [ ] Implement multiple instances of GetUpdate***
• [ ] Send Messages
• [ ] Logic (But Idk if I need to implement that in another file)
