Hey, generally it's not a specific indi related question, but I believe asking here could be very knowledgeable.

So I'm wondering how HID drivers perform the connection to the platform(indi/ascom). Since HID is pretty much a native driver, there needs to be some way to determine that something has connected, and that it is actually the correct thing.
I've looked it up a bit on ASCOM, but didn't see any support for HID drivers, so I was wondering if for every HID device the "additional drivers" that comes with it for either ascom or indi needs to handle the connection between the platform and the device? Also, does it 'convert' the connection itself to be compatible with serial connection in a way?

Would love to get some input on how HID devices communicate and works with indi/ascom, sorry if I was talking nonsense.

Thanks a lot for the help!
