The relevant bits of the class heirarchy are as follows
* [MeshPlugin](/src/mesh/MeshPlugin.h) (in src/mesh/MeshPlugin.h) - you probably don't want to use this baseclass directly
* [SinglePortPlugin](/src/mesh/SinglePortPlugin.h) (in src/mesh/SinglePortPlugin.h) - for plugins that receive from a single port number (the normal case)
* [ProtobufPlugin](/src/mesh/ProtobufPlugin.h) (in src/mesh/ProtobufPlugin.h) - for plugins that are sending/receiving a single particular Protobuf type. Inherit from this if you are using protocol buffers in your plugin.
* [SinglePortPlugin](/src/mesh/SinglePortPlugin.h) (in src/mesh/SinglePortPlugin.h) - for plugins that send/receive from a single port number (the normal case)

You will typically want to inherit from either SinglePortPlugin (if you are just sending raw bytes) or ProtobufPlugin (if you are sending protobufs). You'll implement your own handleReceived/handleReceivedProtobuf - probably based on the example code.

If your plugin needs to perform any operations at startup you can override and implement the setup() method to run your code.

If you are making a new app using meshtastic, please send in a pull request to add your 'portnum' to [the master list](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-protobufs/blob/master/portnums.proto). PortNums should be assigned in the following range:
* 0-63 Core Meshtastic use, do not use for third party apps
* 64-127 Registered 3rd party apps, send in a pull request that adds a new entry to portnums.proto to register your application
* 256-511 Use one of these portnums for your private applications that you don't want to register publically

* Run "bin/regen-protos.sh" to regenerate the C code for accessing the protocol buffers. If you don't have the required nanopb tool, follow the instructions printed by the script to get it.
