Communication is definitely working as it's detecting a Modular Evolution 88. Is that correct?

It's trying to write this line to the display:

   no attachable console

This is probably some kind of permissions problem. Do you maybe need to run brltty with some kind of elevated privileges?

The result of writing this line is:

   missing braille message acknowledgement

so the driver isn't getting an expected response from the device.

Do you know if this works or doesn't work on Windows 10?
