### Header Files
All classes are accessible by including `NimBLEDevice.h` in your application, no further headers need to be included.
(Mainly for Arduino) You may choose to include `NimBLELog.h` in your appplication if you want to use the `NIMBLE_LOGx` macros for debugging. These macros are used the same way as the `ESP_LOGx` macros.

### Class Names
Class names remain the same as the original with the addition of a "Nim" prefix.
For example `BLEDevice` is now `NimBLEDevice` and `BLEServer` is now `NimBLEServer` etc.
For convienience definitions have been added to allow applications to use either name for all classes this means **no class names need to be changed in existing code** and makes migrating easier.

`BLEAddress` (`NimBLEAddress`) When constructing an address the constructor now takes an *(optional)* `uint8_t type` parameter to specify the address type. Default is (0) Public static address.
For example `BLEAddress addr(11:22:33:44:55:66, 1)` will create the address object with an address type of: 1 (Random).
As this paramameter is optional no changes to existing code are needed, it is mentioned here for information.
As this parameter is optional no changes to existing code are needed, it is mentioned here for information.
`BLEAddress::getNative` (`NimBLEAddress::getNative`) returns a uint8_t pointer to the native address byte array. In this library the address bytes are stored in reverse order from the original library. This is due to the way the NimBLE stack expects addresses to be presented to it.
