WEEK 13 / NETWORKING AND COMMUNICATIONS
Our assignment this week was to build a wireless network with at least two nodes. I built Neil's
asynchronous bus example. I would have liked to experiment more with the code but I was simultaneously
trying to push my final project forward. You can see updates on Week 14 / Final Project Development.

The way the boards work is that there is a bridge board and two node board. These boards are assigned
Node 1, Node 2, and Node 3. Once programmed, if you hit ''1'', all three boards with leds blink once and
and then Node 1 blinks again. If you hit ''2'', all three boards blink once and then Node 2 blinks again, and
so on.
