Hi Garratt,

sorry for causing confusion. My libusb wrapper code has separate 
readControl and writeControl functions because I dislike the idea of 
using a bit flag to switch between read and write in libusb. As a side 
effect, my readControl function sets bit 7 on the read mask itself to 
make it transparent to the user; in other words, when I call 
readControl(0x40,...) libusb actually sees 0xC0 for the first parameter. 
So my code is in line with the other code you reference.

I obviously should have documented that better.

I know that my accelerometer code works otherwise; I've played around 
with them for a bit.
