I'm still trying to iron this one out, but the reason that the
port.write('0A') doesn't work is because I need to add a slight delay
between the two bytes. I thought I said that before, but I might not have.
This whole mess frustrates me.

I am trying the different suggestions that I received last night. I will
post what works.
