The goal of this software was to allow me to plug into any Particle, including Gen 3, that has previously been setup and print out as much information about the device as possible. Hopefully at some point there will be API’s to print out more mesh information.

Comments welcome. Here is the link:

There are some more defines that indicate high-level features. For example, you can use Wiring\_WiFi instead of having to list all of the platforms with Wi-Fi.
