1. Pre-flight checks.

   1. Connect board to USB port.
   2. Launch Arduino IDE and upload StandardFirmata snippet (it's under examples/Firmata/).

2. Run main file:

   $ lua run.lua

   It will try to open first existing /dev/ttyUSB port (n = 0, 7).

   If you have several Arduinos connected, add port name:
