[On hold] Add digit recognition example

[corneliusboehm]

The final layer of both backbone networks was trained to recognize digits drawn in the air and some display logic is added.

General updates:

• Support font_scale and thickness in put_text
• Fix the runtime_error handling in controller.py, because it was not showing the relevant exception, but only that runtime_error was used before declaration

Here's a perfect run where all digits are recognized (even though it doesn't always work): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pEM0a2OYGxPvuqC9gvft8RQKb9iVdtkY/view?usp=sharing

Please try this out yourself and let me know if it's good enough to be a visible example in the README.

I'm pretty sure this is unrelated to your example, but in a fresh installation of the repo and environment, I can't get the demo to work. It prints two lines, does not open a window, does not show an error, and simply terminates.

Have you seen this before?

Don't think I have seen this 😕 Do any of the other demos work?

Code looking good. I left minor comments.

I've tested it now, but unfortunately, it didn't work really well for me. I feel like our old airdigits demo was way more reliable and I also didn't have to be so careful with the timing of my motion.
