Description

Currently, the switch-gadget.py script takes about 98% of the CPU because it is polling for GPIO input. Need to switch to an interrupt-driven approach.

Research direction

Start with switch-gadget.py and trace how it currently polls GPIO input. Investigate the project's available GPIO interrupt mechanism, then replace the polling approach while preserving switch behavior. Done means GPIO input is interrupt-driven and the script no longer consumes about 98% CPU.
