We ran into a product id collision recently. This means that some boards might be mistaken for others as a result. Given that we already store vendor id's for every board, we should start using them when 'sniffing' ports to autolocate plugged in boards.
Expected behaviour
All boards should be able to have unique 'footprints' based on product id
Actual behaviour
Boards so not actually have to have unique product ids, so some collisions can occur and did occur.
Operating system and version
All
Avrgirl Arduino version
2.2.10
Arduino Board being used
Uno, which had a collision with a Adafruit Feather Huzzah 8266 board.
Step by step guide to reproducing the issue
Have both Uno and Adafruit Feather Huzzah 8266 boards plugged in with the same product id, and a collision may occur where the autolocator chooses the first result it finds which could be the Adafruit Feather Huzzah 8266 (wrong choice).

@noopkat I just noticed this issue. About this "Given that we already store vendor id's for every board" on the description I think you meant to say productId. Currently avrgirl-arduino uses productId only, but we should be able to fix that by implementing #162, which is a WIP, we also need code to lookup by vendorId since I'm not familiar with the code I'm not sure where to start to add that.
