a few changes i needed to be able to use it #17

It wasn't working with python2 (used ord() for char-> int conversion) write_matrix usage was unreliable, using async_write seems to improve things the fading feature wasn't exposed in write_matrix, so i added it. (using https://files.senic.com/nuimo-gatt-profile.pdf) the fly event didn't report the distance, so i replaced the duplication of the fly_direction (which is equivalent to event_kind) with the result of byte 4

Feedback welcome, a few things might not be readily merge-able.

I'm not really sure about the async write, it has the merit of preventing errors from crashing my test app, but it's not uncommon for the led displays to stop updating.
