Inital release v0.1.0 features:

• Basic interface with automatic scrolling

New features and changes:

• File handling:
  • Send from a .txt, .bin, or .hex file
  • Write the terminal console data to a .txt
  • Receive raw data from the BLE device continuously to a file
• Tabbed interface: Main (keyboard input) & Files
• Fixed [backspace] bug
