It's talking to me. That's a good start.
I would not even be surprised if I had followers who recognize what this is. Don't get excited. I am not really doing anything here that has not been done before.
@DiConX I recognize it to the point that you're talking to an SPI device.
One where MOSI doesn't have a proper ground reference so SCK is crosstalking into it. 😉
@hennichodernich Hehe, yes, I only attached the ground of one probe to the USB port of the microcontroller here.
