 * The output port for a Velleman 8062 device.

 *
 * Because this interface is so slow we run the output in a separate thread. It
 * takes around 8ms to respond to an urb and in the worst case we send 74 urbs
 * per universe.
 *
 * It would be interesting to see if you can pipeline the urbs to improve the
 * performance.
