"""
On reset the device can respond to 3 commands:

* 'x': Device detection, echo this so the PC knows you're there
* '?': Device ID query, reply with "M764" and a null byte ('\0')
* 'U': Reply with 'x' and enter transmit mode

In transmit mode, all bytes should be echoed back to the PC and the
commands above should not be answered. Transmit mode is only left upon
reset.
