Maximum Serial Communication Speed

As of Commit 8e5ce86c1c4688e15706bd420becdf4d560769dc the period of the loop is 3~5 msec ( 200 - 333 Hz ). However a stable reliable period is greater than or equal to 0.008 msec (125 Hz). Lower than this can cause buffer overflow which can cause incorrect colors to be displayed.

GUI Workflow

1. Make the GUI using qtDesigner and save it as GUI.ui
2. Run the command pyuic5 GUI.ui > gui.py to generate the python gui definition file.
3. Add any slot connections to the PyLightApp.connect_slots method in application.py
