        ## Usage
        First create an instance of dmx.DMX_Serial(), then start the background thread. Once that is running the dongle will begin sending a full DMX universe.
        To change the value of a channel use set_data(). This function takes a bytes() object with 512 bytes, each representing a single DMX channel. It will be sent on the next DMX refresh.
        ```
        import time
        import dmx
        
        sender = dmx.DMX_Serial()
        sender.start()
        for i in range(200):
            if i % 2:
                sender.set_data(bytes((255,)*512))
            else:
                sender.set_data(bytes((0,)*512))
            time.sleep(1)
        ```
