help needed: Android devices and FTDI dive computers

[Dietrich Meyer]

Hi Dirk,

not sure if this really helps.
I got a Suunto Vyper2, a noname FTDI cable (not original Suunto, but sourced 
from some ebay seller) and a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with LineageOS 14.1.

Installed "USB Device Info" from F-Droid. Screenshot with device info 
attached.... 

Best,

Dietrich
