// It looks like we have to use RXTX for java/arduino serial communication.
// Question I don't have answers to yet: how to choose which serial port is data, logging.
//   Prolly could just have a preliminary byte sent, and that would distinguish.
// TODO figure out how to do a local install of the rxtx binaries vs. global install

// TODO Note that, when you do a global install you WILL need to invalidate the cache of your IDE
