You can use hudsontrafficlights to control a USB traffic...

People often configure Hudson to start a new build whenever a change is made to the repository. In fact, this is often considered central to the practice of continuous integration. There are two ways to achieve this. One is the "pull" model, where Hudson periodically reaches out to a Subversion repository to see if there is any changes. The other is the "push" model, where...
