So yeah, never mind!

The Raspberry Pi driver no longer relies on compiled C or WiringPi, but the native SPI pins of the Pi! No more bit-banging means it's both fast and stable.

The pins to interface with Pixies are now the SPI MOSI and CLK (Pixie DATA, CLK respectively) and cannot be changed. However, it should still be possible to share the SPI bus with other products when the Pixies aren't being written to!

Take a look at extras/raspberry_pi/example.py for a further explanation and hookup/usage tutorial!
