Expands and completes #58
On windows when the board is touched at 1200bps it goes in bootloader mode (on a different COM port).
I used the correct approach in #58, but I forgot that the commandLine variable was being set before.. 🤦

The working principle is the following:

  1. The board (a samd once) is present on COM6 for example
  2. The board is touched at 1200bps
  3. The board comes bach online on a different COM (for example COM7)
  4. The uploader sketch must be uploaded keeping in mind this behaviur
  5. After the upload is complete the board returns to the previous COM port (in our example COM6) <- we were not considering this
  6. We open a serial connection to COM6 at 1000000bps to upload the firmware binary to the board.
  7. The end 🪂

PS tested on win with a lot of boards connected at the same time (mkr1010, nano33iot, nanorp2040connect, mkr1000, unowifir2) and everithing seems to work flawlessly
