/**
 * When initializing multiple boards with only an ID string,
 * the order of initialization and connection is the order
 * that your OS enumerates ports.
 *
 * Given the above program, "A" and "B" would be assigned as:
 *
 * A => /dev/cu.usbmodem411
 * B => /dev/cu.usbmodem621
 *
 *
 * You may override this by providing explicit port paths:
 *
 * var ports = [
 *   { id: "A", port: "/dev/cu.usbmodem621" },
 *   { id: "B", port: "/dev/cu.usbmodem411" }
 * ];
 *
 * new five.Boards(ports).on("ready", function() {
 *
 *   // Boards are initialized!
 *
 * });
