seems like the following is more usable than just the hex array for the defaultConfig

//const char defaultConfig[] = DEFAULT_CONFIG;
const char* defaultConfig = R"(

Hey Scott,

I was going to mess around with this code, but see if I can get it running on an esp32.

Before I really dug in i was thinking it would be nice to write some tests. Have you thought about testing much?

What I as thinking was trying to abstract as much as possible so the basic mechanics could be built/tested native x86 with mocks for the MCU specific code. Since there are so many versions of remora I'm not quite sure what a good reusable framework to do this would be but I think it would be nice to have the communication protocols testable and consistent.

so something like -> mock transport -> base_thread -> mock timers/stepgen

Hey Scott,

Got around to poking at this again this weekend but a few problems.

1. using the current main I can't ping the pico, tried about everything. Have you tried this out with a rpi4 by chance? I've tried 2 different w5500 breakouts, i'm not using the pico hat. I've tested with the pico-examples code and it works and can be pinged. you code doesn't really look anything like that example so i'm a bit lost as to why they are different.
2. using commit b61dc51 i can ping the pico but it just does this and locks up

    setting up timer on PWM Slice 0
    desired frequency = 40000, div = 1, wrap = 3124
    actual frequency  = 40000.0000

then it stops responding to pings and I have to reset it.

3. I had to monkey with the uart setttings and I can only seem to get my FTDI to read GPIO28, nothing over USB and can't connect to that serial port. wondering how you are debugging.

4. which hal module goes with this main version? I'm trying the remora-eth but there is also remora-nv and likely many versions. Maybe this deserves it's own repo with tags to track what it is tested with/designed to work with.
