+This package allows users to access the BLE capabilities of their Kano coding wand using an asynchronous python API.  
+    
+    API design taken from - https://github.com/GammaGames/kano_wand and then adapted and updated for asynchronous python.
+    
+    New version is asynchronous and in addition is not cross playform due to its usage of pybluez instead of BLEAK for BLE access.
