I've made a quick test and only thing I can tell is: it doesn't work but 
the device vendor and id are already listed in the HIMS. See the output 
of a diff of lsusb -v before and after the braille device was plugged 
in: http://paste.debian.net/1073259/

I understand. Thomas in CC has the braille device and BRLTTY 5.6 on 
Debian 8 "Jessie".

How could we help you to make the braille device compatible ?

Best regards,
