Start screens with 60sec timeout and two screensaver animations that alternate. All clients have some more robust MQTT code that should handle misconnections and dropouts more reliably. rfid-read.py still has some issues but replicating them reliably is hard, I think I really need to halt all the clients until the broker announces it's ready, meaning that the wifi router has booted and everything is in place, but I think that should go on its own branch as there might not be time to do all that and test.

Added lots of type: ignores to suppress warnings because feeling compulsive 32a14160fa

removed a client.publish that shouldn't have been there. Replaced for attempt code f7b1bd81c3

Uses wait_for_publish in the for loop to verify messages are getting to the broker, I think they weren't before? I'm not sure, confused 09af255c2e

Moved ser.reset_input_buffer() to top of while loop, maybe helps reliability :/ 2b56560710
