run ola wrapper.
to create a new pattern use one of the existing ones and copy it as a blue-print.
all files in the pattern/ sub-folder that have a subclass of the Pattern class defined
will be considered.
in this class there is a function called _calculate_step - these will be called for every universe once every update_interval round.
it has to return a array.array('B') array with the values to write to ola.
