This pull request includes an important update to the
get_attached_blinkstick_devices
function in thesrc/blinkstick/backends/unix_like.py
file. The changes improve error handling by adding a try-except block to catch USB errors and provide more specific error messages, and signposting the user towards udev rules as a posible remediation.Error handling improvements:
usb.core.USBError
exceptions.USBBackendNotAvailable
