Finally, I can help with:¹

• testing changes on Linux
• testing changes on Windows
• testing changes on Mac OS
• attempting to capture USB traffic
• attempting to capture I²C/SMBus traffic
• analyzing traffic data
• documenting the protocol
• implementing the driver

¹ Assuming documentation and/or assistance will be provided.

@TyphoonNL would you be able to capture some of the USB traffic using wireshark and a windows VM? We have some notes on getting the vm setup and capturing the traces.

Without having some of the data to work with and knowing what is being done / how the device is behaving, it is extremely difficult to determine the protocol.
