The `espnow` module provides an interface to Espressif's [ESP-NOW functionality](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-reference/network/esp_now.html). To quote their documentation directly:

#### Parameters
`mac` The peer mac address, given as a string in `00:11:22:33:44:55` format (colons optional, and may also be replaced by '-' or ' ').
`options` A table with with following entries:
- `mac` The peer mac address, given as a string in `00:11:22:33:44:55` format (colons optional, and may also be replaced by '-' or ' ').
- `options` A table with with following entries:
- `channel` An integer indicating the WiFi channel to be used. The default is `0`, indicating that the current WiFi channel should be used. If non-zero, must match the current WiFi channel.
- `lmk` The LMK for the peer, if encryption is to be used.
- `encrypt` A non-zero integer to indicate encryption should be enabled. When set, makes `lmk` a required field.

The callback function for the `sent` event is invoked with two parameters, the destination MAC address, and a `1`/`nil` to indicate whether the send was believed to be successful or not.

The callback function for the `receive` event is invoked with a single parameter, a table with the following keys:
- `src` The sender MAC address
- `dst` The destination MAC address (likely either the local MAC of the receiver, or the broadcast address)
- `rssi` The RSSI value from the packet, indicating signal strength between the two devices
- `data` The actual payload data, as a string. The string may contain binary data.

#### Syntax
```lua
espnow.on(event, callbackfn)
```

#### Parameters
`event` The event name, one of `sent` or `receive`.
`callbackfn` The callback function to register, or `nil` to unregister the previously set callback function for the event.

```

#### Parameters
`peer` The peer MAC address to send to. Must have previously been added via `espnow.addpeer()`. If `peer` is given as `nil`, the packet is sent to all registered non-broadcast/multicast peers, and the `sent` callback is invoked for each of those peers.
`data` A string of data to send. May contain binary bytes. Maximum supported length at the time of writing is 250 bytes.
- `peer` The peer MAC address to send to. Must have previously been added via `espnow.addpeer()`. If `peer` is given as `nil`, the packet is sent to all registered non-broadcast/multicast peers, and the `sent` callback is invoked for each of those peers.
- `data` A string of data to send. May contain binary bytes. Maximum supported length at the time of writing is 250 bytes.

#### Returns
`nil`, but the `sent` callback is invoked with the status afterwards.
