+/// @file Example_Blocking.cpp
+/// @brief Test blocking write / read
+/// 
+/// - Uses SerialDriver with USBTX and USBRX.
+/// - Has much too small buffers, to how far can it get?
+/// 
+/// - Testing how much bytes were transmitted, with too small TX buffer and forced non blocking
+/// - Waiting till 10 bytes are received
+/// - LED4 indicates parallel thread working
