Video Parser

This takes a visual media input (photo / video / etc) and uses ffmpeg to read the rgb values then writes them to stdout as raw data. This can the be piped to /dev/ttyACMx which will display them. To find the arduino you can run:

ls /dev/serial/by-id/ | grep arduino | xargs -I{} readlink /dev/serial/by-id/{}

which will output ../../ttyACMX or simmilar. Then /dev/ttyACMX (for example) is your arduino. From which you can run cargo run > /dev/ttyACMX to pipe the parsed video into it.
