The upload script is looking for '/dev/ttyUSB0' and as it is not present 
in your system (judging by the `lsusb` output you have provided) it fails.

   - Right click on your VM instance within the Virtualbox window and 
select 'Settings'
   - Go to the USB tab and click the 'Add filter from device' button, 
the one with a USB plug and a green plus symbol
   - Select 'FTDI FT232R UART' from the list and press OK

Now, when you start your VM you will see that the FTDI VCP driver will 
stop working (COM3 will disappear) and it will be replaced by the 
'VirtualBox USB' driver, the filter driver for the USB devices.

Try doing `lsusb` after those and hopefully you should see the FTDI 
device under /dev/ttyUSBx.


Hope this helps,
Omer.
