# notes and ideas

## frontend

each frontend module will have a JSON state update over socket.io
each module will export a function to update it's state

use these functions to update all modules on connect, from a UI init state event.
this event will be sent all of the module data at once, in JSON

split each JSON element to the UI element functions


## esp-server comms

the ESP will report to the server when it connects:

rover's name
enable / disable for each motor
camera IP address
battery info (for different battery behaviors):
    full number
    warn number
    urgent number
