Change digitalPin to allow the use of an already exported gpio pin, avoiding the
write /sys/class/gpio/export: device or resource busy
errors that currently result. This kind of situation is easy to end up in if you e.g. kill the process and restart it, without giving it a chance to unexport its pins.This should suffice to handle the issues mentioned in #30 and #44.
This also helps to deal with the
open /sys/class/gpio/gpio21/direction: permission denied
races in #52, by allowing us to use a helper script to pre-export the gpio pins and wait for udev to settle.
