Color Kinetics Support

[Firescar96]

I'm trying to write a new backed for radiance to support ColorKinetics lights using the DMX protocol. I've been working on a basic version of controlling these lights. But it would be much easier to update this library, than to add all of the features from here into my code.

Do you have any suggestions on where to start? I mostly understand this update: FirstEast@fee2a37 but the library has changed a bit since then

Hey - sounds good.

The update you linked is from an older design - before we switched to Qt. Unfortunately right now there isn't actually support for any hardware other than raw video. This has been a big todo for us (#26) and there's currently a PR in progress (#59) that makes it drastically easier to implement these kinds of outputs.

If you're in a rush - it'd be easiest to work off of FirstEast's fork, although it's pretty old.

I was reading around about CK lights and found this: https://github.com/Dewb/streetlight . I hadn't heard of Syphon/Spout before, but those are exactly the kind of interfaces I've wanted to support. I opened #61 to implement something like this.

I would rather you fork off of #59 and subclass SelfTimedReadBackNode. You can look at ConsoleOutputNode to learn how to use it. It dumps an array of pixel colors at the size & rate that you specify, which you can do what you will with. This interface is actively being developed and will be more built up over the next few weeks.

Hadn't heard of streetlight before
I forked off of the FirstEast codebase https://github.com/Firescar96/radiance, it compiles but I haven't gotten output to the lights quite right yet
I can try to fork off of #59 instead

By jove, it works, I'll rebase onto master and make a PR soon
