/*
* receiver.ino -- UART -> two LEGO Powered Up hubs (ESP32 "B")
*
* Board package: esp32 (the normal Espressif one)
* Libraries: Legoino + NimBLE-Arduino 1.4.x (both via Library Manager)
*
* Listens for gamepad frames from the Bluepad32 board on Serial2 and drives
* two Powered Up / Technic hubs over BLE using Legoino.
*
* Wiring to the transmitter board:
* RX GPIO16 <- TX GPIO17 on transmitter
* TX GPIO17 -> RX GPIO16 on transmitter
* GND -> GND
*
* Created by: Jess Rogerson (yelling commands at Claude.AI)
