Introducing the rpi_pinin_msgout-test gem

This gem is designed to make it convenient to evaluate the rpi-pinin-msgout gem without having to set up a push button for example on a Raspberry Pi. Instead, the spacebar key simulates the pressing of a button.

Here's a couple of examples:

# default mode

require 'rpi_pinin_msgout-test'

pin = RPiPinInMsgOutTest.new(4, pull: :up, mode: :default)
pin.capture

Output:

# secretkock mode

require 'rpi_pinin_msgout-test'

pin = RPiPinInMsgOutTest.new(4, pull: :up, mode: :secretknock)
pin.capture

Output:

Notes:

The rpi_pinin_msgout gem was design to be used by the humble_rpi-plugin-button gem.
The default notifier (which outputs the product from 1 or more keypresses) is used although it can be changed.
