implement outputgpio hardware board

[robertoostenveld]

This should have a LED (possibly RGB), a BEEP, and an optically isolated TTL output, each connected to a different GPIO pin.

I made a PCB board with two LEDs (red and white) and a BEEP. The LEDs can blink but also be controlled gradually with PWM. The BEEP has an on/off button, because on startup of the Raspberry Pi it would start beeping, which was rather annoying. It would only stop beeping when explicitly switched off with the outputgpio module. The button can be used to silence the BEEP.

It does not have a TTL output yet, but I would rather wait with implementing that until I also have a TTL input, which requires work on #237.

The board should be documented.

In the documentation the Pibrella board should be mentioned as off-the-shelf alternative, also for #270

Hello, My board is documented. I have a file from the patent search conducted by my law firm in order to pursue development and documented research. January will be my month to make a final payment on my 20 year non provisional in which I will be seeking a board of directors to help in managing the rest of my manufacturing and marketing details that need to be attended to. I am in contact with a person whom has ties to manufacture in China. And I will bee seeking inquiry next year! Regards, Melissa

Dear Melissa, It appears to me that you are not referring to the PCB (printed circuit board) board designed to extend the Raspberry Pi that this issue is dealing with. That DIY board has two LEDs and a BEEP and uses the GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi. I propose you take your business elsewhere. Best regards, Robert
