调研方向
从 PyDMXControl/controllers/_SerialController.py 中的 Ticker 循环和 PySerial 的 send_break 调用开始。调查 macOS 上的 break-time 行为以及文档中记录的 break_condition workaround；完成的标准是在不违反 DMX 时序要求的情况下实现更快的刷新率。

描述
This is more of an FYI for anyone else that tries to use this on macOS than an issue I expect fixed, but I'll document it here in case anyone wants to implement a more elegant solution.
When running PyDMXControl on macOS, the refresh rate for packets sent out is capped around ~2Hz due to the underlying implementation of sending a break in PySerial. A user in this thread helpful did some digging into the tcsendbreak function and found that it's hardcoded to 400ms on macOS, no matter what duration is passed in: link.
That means that the Ticker loop in this module blocks on the the call to PySerial's send_break function for 400ms and cannot spin any faster than that. My current workaround is to comment out the send_break and sleep calls here and instead replace it with:
self.__device.break_condition = True
sleep(5e-6)
self.__device.break_condition = False
sleep(1e-6)
Those sleep times are actually way shorter than what is supported by the DMX standard (min 88uS and 10uS respectively I think), but since the python sleep module isn't really accurate below 1ms, the actual break and MAB measured with a logic analyser ended up around 200uS and 300uS respectively. That will probably vary greatly depending on the system, but thankfully the DMX spec only mandates minimum lengths for both, and most DMX devices will do just find with longer breaks/MABs.
I don't know enough python to know if there are more reliable ways to do timing on a microsecond level, but this hack works well enough for the basic bringup I need to do with this module.
