One loop is indeed 10ms and that is not the problem, the problem is
that timeout is at least 3 calls of this data ready (3 channels), so
that is at minimum 30ms of timeout, or it could even be 4 in worse
case scenario and that is outside of the range for usleep to measure.
So in case of the other loop, where we wait 200ms for channel refresh
it is also out of scope. Timeout should be in number of tries or in
msleep range if you ask me.
