Log serial.SerialException when unable to testPort(..) successfully #30

Spent a few hours this morning chasing down why I couldn't connect to the AxiDraw V3 -- turns out it was a permission error related to the USB socket my AxiDraw was connected to. This info is captured in the serial.SerialException, but that information is unfortunately suppressed by the pass statement I've replaced here.

This looks like a reasonable approach. Thanks!
