One thing worth checking is whether /dev/pilot is getting linked
to the right ttyUSB device.  Usually /dev/pilot does the right thing,
but given that you are getting a "-202" aka "timeout" error from
pilot-link, I would try replacing "/dev/pilot" with both "/dev/ttyUSB0"
and "/dev/ttyUSB1".  You can also try with "pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l".

Your sync is not getting as far as connecting to the T2, so your
immediate problem doesn't seem to lie with the conduits.
