Known issues

• GUI doesn't stall user action when talking to devices properly, making it able to break communication with serial ports by forcing multiple calls to same serial port
  • (as far as I've looked, this doesn't kill the already established communication)
• Start device command is fairly unstable for reasons unknown at the moment
• Devices with firmware versions above or below 2.4-1 will report config error due to not having that config parameter

Future goals

• Change config file to yaml from cfg and add GUI to manipule it
• Support for multiple firmware versions
• Support for different types of devices
• Support for flashing the firmware of these devices
