Oh shit I'm a programmer?!

(I'm not, but this is me rn trying to make a mac script to interface with a weird piece of hardware work on linux without really knowing what I'm doing, and nobody on this obscure piece of hardware's discord really knows either evidentially, and nobody's bothered to figure it out until now but we're trying! Coincidentally, I miss reddit's bash help section, do you guys know another spot I could post some code and get some help on it?)
