Week 10 - How to Network (almost) anything

My goal for networking week was simple. I wanted to connect one rp2040 to another using the BLE protocol in order to trigger a light switch. The ultimate goal would be to have a clicker that could control a physical light switch using a solenoid on each side of the switch, but to begin with I simply tried to toggle an LED on the connected board. Initially I thought this would be quickly achievable since I have done similarly with libraries in python, but the implementation of the protocol was far less transparent than the ones that I had previously used.
