Buffer Dropping #69

Closed marty-pmr closed 4 years ago

marty-pmr commented 4 years ago

We still have problems (as of 6/4) with the Python clogging. What is the status of a buffer dropping mechanism.

Discussed this a little bit with @sluitz. It requires an additional thread to drain the serial buffer and drop packets when the GUI serial handling thread cannot keep up. https://docs.python.org/3/library/queue.html
