Autodetection of what com ports Ardunios have been assigned currently
only works for OS X. It was not hard to implement for OS X and I
suspect that it is even easier under Linux to do the same. I am no
Windows programmer and while I have looked around for solutions on how
to do this in Windows I have found nothing that looks easy enough that
I have the time to sit down and do it at the moment. Does the Arduino
environment detect com ports assigned to plugged in boards? If so it
might be worth looking at how they do it.
Cheers,
Christian
