  // Let's check the health in 5 segs
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('Health:', getHealth())
  }, 5000)

  // Log all the messages from the serial comms
  onClaim(console.log)

  // Let's send some commands
  await obey(commands.buzzer.tone(3000, 1000))
  console.log('Sent Tone Request!')

  await obey(commands.sounds.ohOoh2())
  console.log('Sent OhOhh Sound Request!')

  await obey(commands.gestures.superHappy())
  console.log('Sent Gesture Request!')
})()

Making off :muscle:

This project was under development for a very long time across engineering clasess with my students and software events.

Finally I managed to finish the library and publish a solid initial version.
