[Elecraft] W1 Programming???

When you are interacting with a USB thumb drive, you are normally 
interacting with a USB mass storage class device, not with raw USB. 
Most cheap USB boltons to hardware are done with the communications 
class, and emulate an asynchronous serial port (although some may use 
the human interface device (mouse/keyboard) class.

As such, the ability to write code for the thumb drive doesn't mean you 
can use the same code on the wattmeter, even though the chances are that 
the USB side can be treated as though it were something else.
