On second glance I see some extra logic would have to be added to
the Udev rule to assign consecutive numbers to names like
'arduino_1', 'arduino_2', etc. But default rules do this somehow. <br>

<div>If you are using the same USB devices all the time and do
not expect changes, consider doing udev rules. Below is an
article I wrote about it. Basically it recognizes your USB
device based on certain ID's and you can name the device
whatever you want. As far as communicating, "expect" scripts
is as good as any tool I can think of. The only thing that is
probably better is Tera-Term, but that is strictly windows. It
is quite good though and I wrote a tool to run scripts to 300
edge routers using Tera-Term. One thing I used to do is use
"socat" to send the serial device to a raw TCP port and
communicate over the network. In general I do everything I can
to not communicate to USB devices due to their constant
connection issues. I prefer using UART if possible. </div>
