#	This script is used by alpacapi to determine what device is on what USB port
#	It became necessary in support of the Alnitak flip flat device and
#	resolving that different from the Moonlite USB devices.
#
#	You can runs this script to see what it does,
#	It gets called from the program and outputs to a file "usb_id.txt"
#	AlpacaPi then reads that file to figure out what device is on what port.
#	This is sample output when both a Moonlite focuser and an Alnitak flip-flat is installed
#
#		/dev/ttyUSB0 - FTDI_FT230X_Basic_UART_DK0DW206
#		/dev/ttyUSB1 - Optec_Inc._Flat_Fielder_A86VY5HN
