This problem was solved here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/112568/how-do-i-allow-a-non-default-user-to-use-serial-device-ttyusb0

Unfortunately the chosen answer at that link is not what solved it--I already added myself to dialout, but running sudo chown [me] /dev/ttyUSB1 allowed me to connect to the sensor. As it looks like I will have to run this every time I plug the sensor in, I'm going to look into some of the other answers in that thread.
