 ## Roadmap
 
-- make notifications from pygattlib to quickly get into parallel thread, to avoid segfaults
-- support working with push button
+- experiment with motor commands, find what is hidden there
 - Give nice documentation examples, don't forget to mention logging
-- make angled motors to be synchronous by default => 3-state status
 - make sure unit tests cover all important code
 - generalize getting device info + give constants (low priority)
