 ### Configurations
 Copy the [config.template](config.template) to `config.ini` and set the appropriate interface for your method (serial/ble/tcp). While BLE and TCP will work, they are not as reliable as serial connections. There is a watchdog to reconnect tcp if possible. To get BLE mac `meshtastic --ble-scan` **NOTE** I have only tested with a single BLE device and the code is written to only have one interface be a BLE port
