Hi,

Thanks so much for making this repo.
For some reason when I start the code and connect the meter it just hangs on the "Initializing..." bit. It has been there for around one hour I would say. Is it normal? I am using the Bayer contour next meter (not Ez, or usb).

I had some success in contacting Bayer and signing non-disclosure agreements.
They released manuals and such which specified the protocol.
Just FYI

If you are getting this error on make
