Some people got success in Arduindo using an older mobile cable which works
as USB/Serial converters.
So you can read and write data as a serial port using pyserial.

1) Pitch has nothing to do with voltage.

Because I want to control the on-off the device using a computer and
write software for it (which I am confident I can do if I had references
to how the wrappers to said interface).
