Add a phidget stepper driver and a phidget inout #88

Phidgets are building-blocks for sensing and control using a computer. The advantage is that all Phidgets can be plugged in and used, without having to follow complex pinout diagrams or configure communication between the device and computer.

In this PR, the Phidget Stepper 4A and the Phidget Wheatstone Bridge are added. The Stepper 4A Phidget allows you to control a bipolar stepper motor (cde6f9b). The Wheatstone Bridge Phidget is a load cell interface. It amplifies the signal from a load cell and provides a clean, stable digital value (a2d7737).

These sensors need to be connected to the Phidget Wireless VINT Hub. It is a simple way to use Phidgets in locations away from a computer by making them available on your local network via the Phidget Network Server. The HUB5000 requires a local WiFi signal and a power supply. You can also wire it directly into your modem or network switch using an ethernet cable.
