Device discovery setup (UDEV rules)

When a USB serial port device is connected to Ubuntu, it assigns it a device name in the /dev directory. In order to create symbolic links to these arbitrarily named devices (/dev/ttyUSB* or /dev/ttyACM*) we can use the following udev rules.

Using your favorite editor open the following file:

/etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb-serial.rules

Add the following lines to the file:

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1cbe", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00fd", SYMLINK+="launchpad"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", SYMLINK+="imu"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", SYMLINK+="radio"
