Do not use USB for anything that you have to do that is deterministic.
Unless you can handle dropping data on the floor (like USB audio will
do).  Other than that, why not just use the bus-specific hardware
controller for this type of bus to monitor and read the data?  That
hardware is available, right?

Good luck!
