 Please submit PR's using 'dev' as the base branch!
 For minor changes just submit your PR and I'll try to review it, but for anything more 'impactful' please open an Issue first and start a discussion. Is better to sound out what it is you want to achieve first, and try to come to a consensus on what the best approach is, especially when it impacts the structure or architecture of this codebase.
 
+Here are some general principals you should try to adhere to:
+* Keep it simple. Please, don't think like a high-level lang programmer. Think embedded, and keep code concise, without any unecessary layers.
+* No dynamic memory allocation, except during setup/begin functions.
+* Use the same brace and indenting style that's in the core source modules. (A .clang-format is prob going to be added soon, but please do NOT retroactively re-format existing code. This just creates unnecessary diffs that make finding problems harder)

-**A:** MeshCore is free and open source
+**A:** MeshCore is a multi platform system for enabling secure text based communications utilising LoRa radio hardware. It can be used for Off-Grid Communication, Emergency Response & Disaster Recovery, Outdoor Activities, Tactical Security including law enforcement and private security and also IoT sensor networks. ([source](https://meshcore.co.uk/))

+MeshCore is free and open source:
 * MeshCore is the routing and firmware etc, available on GitHub under MIT license
 * There are clients made by the community, such as the web clients, these are free to use, and some are open source too
 * The cross platform mobile app developed by [Liam Cottle](https://liamcottle.net) for Android/iOS/PC etc is free to download and use

 In UK and EU, 867.5MHz is not allowed to use 250kHz bandwidth and it only allows 2.5% duty cycle for clients.  869.525Mhz allows an airtime of 10%, 250KHz bandwidth, and a higher EIRP, therefore MeshCore nodes can send more often and with more power. That is why this frequency is chosen for UK and EU.  This is also why Meshtastic also uses this frequency.

 ### 5.13. Q: Can I use a Raspberry Pi to update a MeshCore radio?
 ** A:** Yes.
-You will need to install picocom on the pi.
-`sudo apt install picocom`
+Below are the instructions to flash firmware onto a supported LoRa device using a Raspberry Pi over USB serial.
 
-Then run the following commands to setup the repeater.
-```
-picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 --imap lfcrlf
-set name your_repeater_name
-time epoch_time
-password your_unique_password
-set advert.interval 240
-advert
-```
-Note: If using a RAK the path will most likely be /dev/ttyACM0
+> Instructions for nRF devices like RAK, T1000-E, T114 are immediately after the ESP instructions
 
-Epoch time comes from https://www.epochconverter.com/
+For ESP-based devices (e.g. Heltec V3) you need:
+- Download firmware file from flasher.meshcore.co.uk
+    - Go to the web site on a browser, find the section that has the firmware up need
+    - Click the Download button, right click on the file you need, for example,
+        - `Heltec_V3_companion_radio_ble-v1.7.1-165fb33.bin` 
+            - Non-merged bin keeps the existing Bluetooth pairing database
+        - `Heltec_v3_companion_radio_usb-v1.7.1-165fb33-merged.bin`
+            - Merged bin overwrites everything including the bootloader, existing Bluetooth pairing database, but keeps configurations.
+        - Right click on the file name and copy the link and note it for later use here is an example: `https://flasher.meshcore.dev/releases/download/companion-v1.7.1/Heltec_v3_companion_radio_ble-v1.7.1-165fb33.bin`
+        - Run:

+            - If the above wget command only downloads a very small file (10K bytes instead of more than 100K byte, use this command instead:
+                - `wget --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0" --content-disposition "https://flasher.meshcore.dev/releases/download/companion-v1.7.1/Heltec_v3_companion_radio_usb-v1.7.1-165fb33.bin"`
+    - Confirm the `ttyXXXX` device path on your Raspberry Pi:
+        - Go to `/dev` directory, run ls command to find confirm your device path
+        - They are usually `/dev/ttyUSB0` for ESP devices
+        - For ESP-based devices, install esptool from the shell:
+            - `pip install esptool --break-system-packages`
+    - To flash, use the following command:
+        - For non-merged bin:
+            - `esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --chip esp32-s3 write_flash 0x10000 <non-merged_firmware>.bin`
+        - For merged bin:
+            - `esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --chip esp32-s3 write_flash 0x00000 <merged_firmware>.bin`
+	
 
-You can also flash the repeater using esptool.  You will need to install esptool with the following command...
 
-`pip install esptool --break-system-packages`
+**Instructions for nRF devices:**
 
-Then to flash the firmware to Heltec, obtain the .bin file from https://flasher.meshcore.co.uk/ (download all firmware link)

+To manage a repeater or room server connected to a Pi over USB serial using shell commands, you need to install `picocom`.  To install `picocom`, run the following command:
+- `sudo apt install picocom`
 
-For Heltec:
-`esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --chip esp32-s3 write_flash 0x00000 firmware.bin`
+To start managing your USB serial-connected device using picocom, use the following command:
+    - `picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 --imap lfcrlf`
 
-If flashing a visual studio code build bin file, flash with the following offset:
-`esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --chip esp32-s3 write_flash 0x10000 firmware.bin`

+# Meshcore payloads
+Inside of each [meshcore packet](./packet_structure.md) is a payload, identified by the payload type in the packet header. The types of payloads are:
+
+* Node advertisement.
+* Acknowledgment.
+* Returned path.
+* Request (destination/source hashes + MAC).
+* Response to REQ or ANON_REQ.
+* Plain text message.
+* Anonymous request.
+* Group text message (unverified).
+* Group datagram (unverified).
+* Custom packet (raw bytes, custom encryption).
+
+This document defines the structure of each of these payload types
+
+## Important concepts:
+
+* Node/channel hash: the first byte of the node or channel's public key
+
+# Node advertisement
+This kind of payload notifies receivers that a node exists, and gives information about the node

+
+The plaintext contained in the ciphertext matches the format described in [plain text message](#plain-text-message). Specifically, it consists of a four byte timestamp, a flags byte, and the message. The flags byte will generally be `0x00` because it is a "plain text message". The message will be of the form `<sender name>: <message body>` (eg., `user123: I'm on my way`).
+
+
+TODO: describe what datagram looks like
+
+# Custom packet
+
+Custom packets have no defined format.
