[PD] object that receives "print to console" messages

[errordeveloper at gmail.com]

i would suggest you to use udev rules, it is quite easy.

for example here is a line i used for arduino to appear as
/dev/arduino_SERIALNO:



KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403",
SYMLINK+="arduino.port%n arduino_$attr{serial}
arduino_$attr{serial}.port%n",
RUN+="/bin/stty --file=/dev/arduino_$attr{serial}.port%n"

if i remeber correct [hid] wants the minor numbers, right?

read some udev rules example and you will figure ..if you are really in
trouble - give us a shout.

hint: use `udevadm control --reload-rules` after you add or modified
something in /etc/udev/rules.d/
(btw, this the new udev command syntax, they keep changing it ..
 the older one was like --reload_rules and before it was something else
 too ;) so beware! )

so using udev rules the particular device will always have the same
symlink in "/dev/". it up to you what you wanna name it ..
