20 loom protocol works as following:
Initiate the camera, load the 'Time of Loom.csv' and Initiate the LEDboard (HARP)
When press 'space' the protocol starts and the next stimuli comes at the time of loom
It save the video (.avi) and a .csv with the alignment data for visual and light stimulation. This info comes from the GPIO

20Control-20230523T184145Z-001.zip
Same as the 20loom but stead of a looming, it displays the control stimulus
The control stimulus are random dots filling the maximum size of the loom at the speed of the loom

Opto Ladder-20230523T184157Z-001.zip
This protocol works in similar way as before, but it can trigger light stimulation either pulsed or continuous

Calculating loom diameters-20230523T184151Z-001.zip
This is the code we use to draw the looming stimulus

Things to consider:

1. Change the visual stimulus resolution, now it renders only a square region on the screen
2. Ability to change the stimulus and the background color 20Loom_backgroundandcontrast.zip
3. Run multiple cameras in the same protocol Starter - 3cam-20230523T185248Z-001.zip
4. Have a 'Looming' node where we can just input the parameters as in the code shared above
5. Control node
6. Choose the shape of the looming (e.g. a dragonfly outline)
7. Have a translational stimuli i.e. a shape that moves on a defined trajectory
8. Mixed stimuli, a translational stimuli that becomes a loom
9. Closed-loop protocol that triggers a stimuli upon some behavioral metric (e.g. location, orientation, behavioral classifier)
