HELP="Register slcan-enabled serial-to-CAN adapters as network interfaces.
Usage:
    `basename $0` [options] <tty0> [[options] <tty1> ...]

Interface indexes will be assigned automatically in ascending order, i.e., the
first device will be mapped to slcan0, second to slcan1, and so on.

# By default, X-Box 360-compatible controllers are detectable but dysfunctional because they expect the host
# to send a particular USB control transfer with some sort of initialization command.
# This udev rule will invoke a trivial Python script automatically when the gamepad is connected that emits
# the required initialization command.
#
# Integration:
# 1. Put this rule into /etc/udev/rules.d/51-xbox-gamepad.rules
# 2. Install pyusb for the root's Python:   sudo pip install pyusb
# 3. Reload udev rules as root:             udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger
