💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with HidOverI2C
Create a mini-application that allows users to interact with a HID-over-I2C device using the 'HidOverI2C' Python package. Your application should serve as a simple but comprehensive tool for testing and demonstrating the capabilities of HID-over-I2C communication. Here are the steps and features you should include:

1. **Setup**: Begin by installing the necessary packages including 'hidapi' and 'HidOverI2C'. Ensure your environment is set up correctly.

2. **Device Detection**: Implement a feature that scans for all available HID-over-I2C devices on the I2C bus. Display the detected devices with their respective addresses and other relevant information.

3. **Communication Interface**: Develop a user-friendly interface where users can select a specific HID-over-I2C device from the list of detected devices. Once selected, establish a connection with the chosen device.

4. **Data Transmission**: Allow users to send predefined HID reports to the connected device. This could include setting LED states, sending keyboard inputs, or any other supported report types.

5. **Data Reception**: Implement functionality to receive data from the HID-over-I2C device. Display this data in a human-readable format.

6. **Configuration Options**: Include options for configuring the HID-over-I2C device, such as setting report intervals or enabling/disabling certain features.

7. **Logging and Debugging**: Integrate logging mechanisms to record all communication attempts and outcomes. This will help in troubleshooting and understanding the interactions between the application and the HID-over-I2C device.

8. **Documentation**: Provide clear documentation explaining how to use the application, what each feature does, and how it leverages the 'HidOverI2C' package.

Throughout the development process, utilize the 'HidOverI2C' package's core functionalities to ensure efficient and reliable communication with the HID-over-I2C device.
