napari-midi

Control napari with a USB MIDI controller

What works

• bidirectional updates of the button and rotary dial LEDs
• Fast and slow scrolling dials
• Opacity of the topmost layer with the slider
• All out-of-tree code: no hacking napari internals needed 🎉
• Pretty decent API I think...! See all the .bind_ calls at the end of the file.

What doesn't work

• Any kind of documentation or comments 😂
• Thread safety — see #2326 for how to do it properly, I mistakenly thought that our events would handle that for us 😬, thanks @tlambert03 for clarifying that the most certainly do not! 😂
• (same vein) race conditions. Some of our events don't seem to carry the event data (?), and checking the source for the value sometimes returns the old value — hence the time.sleep currently there.
• super clunky implementation
