Two Tasks communicating over a shared memory.

maybe you see, that our test-suite is not happy :)

I think the prototype fits better in the current scratch-space

at first glance I got some minor ideas to bring it closer to our real-world problem and also function also as a proof-of-concept:

• shepherd can run for days
  • using a ring-buffer is a must
  • showing data-streams (can be random) that are >> longer than buffer-size is also a must
• harvesting is writing (py) & reading (pru), but emulation is
  • writing (py) -> reading (pru) -> processing (pru) -> writing (pru) -> reading (py)
• proof-of-concept
  • a supervisor should monitor the tasks and make sure that the data is and stays correct
  • it would be good to minimize log-output to cover a larger stream
  • and reliably (only) inform about errors (shepherd uses the advanced print-lib that lets you switch between debug and normal mode -> maybe that would also help here)

TBC

The code still violates general codestyle and pushes directly into our /documentation instead of the /software-directory or somewhere more appropriate for a prototype. won't merge
