It took a few months to figure it all out and get it working on a Raspberry Pi. The big one I remember is that it says that at the end of a sequence everyone releases the bus, which isn’t true. It also says “true” and “false” a lot instead of high/low which makes it confusing to read.

What is odd for me: the document talks about "true" and "false" and stating
that "true" is actually pulled low (0V). It's OK, however on the graph
later, it talks about "low" and "high". Now I am confused, so "low" means
about the voltage, so actually high=false, low=true .... ? Quite hard to
understand anything this way, when even the usage of notions is not
consistent :(
