Add support for EN/FAULT pin #3

Open hannobraun opened 3 years ago

The driver API does not have support for controlling the power stage or reading a fault. There's a bit of a difficulty here, since the same pin is used for both, and I don't believe there are traits in embedded-hal that could be used for both setting output and reading input on the same pin.

To further complicate things, drivers such as the DRV8825 have separate Enable and Fault lines.

Looks like embedded-hal supports it now. They added IoPin which can toggle between input and output. See the bottom of https://github.com/rust-embedded/embedded-hal/blob/master/src/blocking/digital.rs

Nice, thanks for the note, @WriterOfAlicrow!
