[PD] Pduino and arudino mini pro/raspi debian- Pduino or Comport?

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Two more considerations: making sure you have the right firmware on the 
Arduino (sometimes it gets corrupt for seemingly no apparent reason and 
you need to reupload it), and finally making sure that it's getting 
enough power through RPi's USB port to provide stable operation.
