Why is async needed?

[matfed]

Hello! Thanks for building this library, I finally can control 51515 MVP with a remote :)

I was wondering why Remote.connect is async as it seems to make things much more complicated.

In my project I got rid of async in Remote.connect by replacing yield with utime.sleep_ms(10):

def connect(self, address=None, timeout=5000):
        if address: self.__address = ubinascii.unhexlify(address.replace(':', str()))
        self.__ble_const = _RemoteConstant()
        self.__ble.gap_scan(timeout, 30000, 30000)
        while not self.__ble_const.enabled:
            utime.sleep_ms(10)

That simplifies the setup a lot as you don't need to use the advanced Python API. See here for the full code.
