Difficult to grok basic arduino configuration #15

While working through the arduino setup. I got stuck connecting to the unit when running a basic "blink" example. The solution was to connect with a different port than I had uploaded firmata with. Specifically, I uploaded firmata via /dev/tty.usbmodem1411, but I had to connect to the device via /dev/cu.usbmodem1411. This was quite confusing to me. It would have been great to have some sort of note on the guide that offers that as a suggestions. I got the hint to try it from https://github.com/hybridgroup/artoo-arduino/issues/34.

What do you think?

Perhaps a separate section about how to determine your serial port would help?
