They are all special. Some got public specifications on the
communication protocols, some private specifications that you might get
access to, and some of the protocols are reverse engineered. Some even
harass and threaten to try to keep their protocol private.

One example of a protocol can be found at:
https://bitbucket.org/heinrichsweikamp/hwos_code/src/default/doc/?at=default

HeinrichsWeikamp have their protocol documented and public, and as far
as I know, their alone in that camp.


libdivecomputer is probably the best way to get a unified api towards as
many dive computers as possible.
