china usb mining watchog

=====================

if you got one of these :

![hardware](hardware.jpg)

here is the reverse engineered "protocol":

```

9600 baud

init sequence: 0x00 0x80 0x81

keep alive:    0x00 0x01

where 0x01 is 10 seconds timeout. higher number is longer timeout

reset now:     0x00 0xff

```

to use my code:

```

git clone git@github.com:aep/usb-mining-watchdog-china.git wd

cd wd

cargo install

~/.cargo/bin/miningwd /dev/ttyUSB0

```

every "ping" output should make the led blink.

kill the program to initiate the timeout reset sequence
