Crashes when overloaded with "scan" commands

[jurc192]

A python scripts that spits out scan commands in a loop, without any delays, will crash the firmware after couple of seconds.

Is the fear that a user could spam scan from the CLI?

I don't think users will be the main problem, but automated scripts could be. In any case, I believe that firmware should be robust enough not to crash when the frequency of messages increases, right? Didn't have the chance to dive into it, I am sure that the cli module can be polished quite a lot :)

Makes sense, was trying to get a sense of the origin of the concern! I definitely don't disagree with the notion that the firmware should be as robust as possible :).

Since I don't actually have the hardware, I can't be too helpful here, but maybe I can be your rubber duck that asks questions lol.

I'm curious if you could elaborate one what you mean by the firmware "crashing"? Does that mean the Arduino gets locked up and then the watchdog kicks in and resets it?
