Roadmap

• Handling values out of range (limit translation, change stroke to red)
• USB HID joystick source
• Configurable error margins (currently always yellow at 3%, red at 5%)

Contributing

• Contributions should be made to the GitLab repository
• Python code should be formatted with autopep8
• Other source files should be formatted with Prettier
• To properly run as a module without building and installing, cd into src/ and run python3 -m lidia
