Simple example for using udmx to control a monoprice rgbaw-uv dmx light

colorfade.py

"""
Simple rgb color fade tested with the monoprice rgbawuv 

Requires python3.7 for the async coroutine syntax; should be trivial to backport though

Requires:
    libusb==1.0.22b4
    numpy==1.16.3
    pyusb==1.0.2
    scikit-image==0.15.0
    udmx-pyusb==2.0.0
