LeaderNode.ino

/*
   OpenThread.begin(false) will not automatically start a node in a Thread Network
   A Leader node is the first device, that has a complete dataset, to start Thread
   A complete dataset is easily achieved by using the OpenThread CLI command "dataset init new"

   In order to allow other node to join the network,
   all of them shall use the same network master key
   The network master key is a 16-byte key that is used to secure the network

   Using the same channel will make the process faster
