Hi, I made something similar a while ago, that loops through a range of port numbers until the device is recognized as having firmata on it. I believe it was pretty fast, and maybe a little simpler than your example. I don't know of any other way to do this.
Cheers,
Pierre.

Previously subject : get console messages for Arduino
In attachment, my solution to detect automatically an Arduino Board with Firmata. I wonder if we could get the device name of the console output, it would be easier to detect... Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Jerome
