GPIOs are decoupled by photocoupler. GPIO Out 1 by default provides an exposure sync signal with a logic high
level for the duration of the image exposure. All GPIOs can be controlled via the optional IOControl component
(IO and Projector Control, Section 7.2). Pins of unsused GPIOs should be left floating.
Warning: It is especially important that during the boot phase GPIO In 1 is left floating or remains low. The
rc_visard will not boot if the pin is high during boot time.
