#2 Arduino handshake fails on startup

[Markus Dorninger]

On some systems, the handshake between Nodekit and the Arduino fails at startup - so you can't change colors, release tags, etc. Clicking in the "COM port" box of the Arduino Node and pressing "enter" re-attempts initialisation, which works most of the time.
The handshake procedure between Arduino and Nodekt should always work on a correctly installed system. Maybe the Node could automatically reattempt initialisation after some seconds if it fails, or could there be a better method of establishing connection than our "send a letter" approach?
