Hi!
Yes, both under Windows and Linux.
The port reports itself as a joystick:

With on-board means and without specially written software, no communication is possible.
At least it was not possible for me.
The USB port is "for internal use only" - presumably the boot loader can be written via it. The manual for the HP2560C now also says: for firmware updates.
I'm pretty sure that you can't access the data on the SD card via this port. As often as I have expressed this wish, Ecowitt would have implemented this useful function long ago.
In any case, this is a function that I would like to see in the future successor model. If you think so too, please express your wish to Ecowitt.
