Reworked to fit into a Hammond box and use FT230X and single OR gate.

The Hammond box 1551G drawing for the PCB layout was done in LibreCad and
the DXF file converted to an outline in PCB.
Changed to use the new cheaper FTDI FT230XS device for USB comms and
replaced the quad OR chip with a single gate TSOP package.

Sent for manufacture.

The previous version has this swapped and we get a spike at the end of
each packet as the lines adjust to the non-driven state.
