[BRLTTY] BRLTTY and Raspberry PI

[kperry at blinksoft.com]

It doesn't have a serial connector it does have a USB serial protocol.  The
HID is fine though I was just checking to see if it would be found by serial
protocol as well.  HID is easier anyway.

I didn't think that an Orbit Reader has a serial port. You should be able to
use it via usb:, though.

This being said, it probably has an internal USB to serial adapter. When you
connect it (without brltty running), you'll probably see a new device named
either ttyUSB0 or ttyACM0 (let's use ttyUSB0). You should then be able to
tell brltty that the device is serial:ttyUSB0. While this should work, I
wouldn't do it that way beause the tailing nmber (0 in this cse) is
unpredictable when you have more than one such device.
