# aquacomputer-quadro-control: reconstructing Quadro USB configuration

> aquacomputer-quadro-control reconstructs USB configuration access for the Aquacomputer Quadro fan controller. Its Linux client reads saved settings and changes fan, sensor and RGB values; accompanying captures document packet offsets, checksum placement and a usbmon capture workflow.
