Hi Vincent,

This will not work on big endian devices as order of bitfields changes.
I'd recommended treating contact packet as sequence of bytes and parse,
i.e.

	x = ((buf[0] & 0x0f) << 8) | buf[1];
	x = ((buf[0] & 0xf0) << 4) | buf[2];
	...

I am pretty sure this is incorrect. You are saying that you release the
reset line, wait a bit, and then assert it. gpiod is a logical API, with
0 being inactive and 1 being active, and here you want to activate the
reset line, wait appropriate time, release it, and wait for the device
to initialize. What does the datasheet say about reset GPIO polarity?

Thanks.
