modjam/notes.md

Review the @README.md and implement a python process for the test stations that can run on a Raspberry Pi and a process for the control station that can run on a macbook.

Also set up a simulator using docker-compose with Docker containers for each Test Station process and a control station, with a `SIMULATOR=true` env variable. When this is true, the process uses UDP on the Docker network between the containers to "transmit" and "listen" for packets instead of looking for a USB serial attached node device.

Reference a prototype in @reference/modjam-prototype.py and its output tsv files.




#### DOWNLINKING

The control node sends a `RESULTS:<station>|<testname>` command on the `control_radio` settings. This is received by all Test Stations in `IDLE` state but only the station addressed by the command acts on the command.






Some arbitrary time after, the control station sends a `RESULTS:A|test1` command. The Control Station and Test Station A tune to the data radio settings and Test Station A enters `DOWNLINKING` state. Each beacons a "ready" message until they hear the other station's "ready", at which point Test Station A
