Rather than using a hard-coded per-character Tx-timeout of 10ms, use the frame time to determine a timeout value. The value is doubled to ensure that a timeout is only hit during unexpected circumstances. Since the frame time may not be available during early printing, the previous 10ms value is kept as a fallback.
