aula-hero68-protocol: reconstructing AULA HERO 68 HE RGB control

aula-hero68-protocol documents the HID lighting protocol of the AULA HERO 68 HE keyboard. It specifies the 64-byte output report, checksum, lighting commands and per-key payloads, and includes a key map calibrated by lighting and pressing individual keys. Capture parsers and a device test script accompany the protocol notes.
