I'd like to know how to use the Lightning connector to interface with custom hardware, without joining Apple's MFi program. Is this possible on a jailbroken device? Does it require a special chip to "activate" the port when something is plugged in?

Also, a related question: what kind of signals is the Lightning connector capable of transmitting? I would like to send a PWM signal to a device that I'm building for a personal project.
