    Whoops. I just noticed that I missed out on a huge bit of my log on the
    "switching" of USB ports. Here's the log:

    It kept on switching from ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 to ttyUSB2 and ttyUSB3
    (notice the last few addresses 21 and 22). Strange though, as I just
    tried it again, and it consistently connected at ttyUSB1. Will have to
    monitor this further, but for now it works!

    Maybe I just needed sleep at 3:48am...
