Doing sudo without password seems to be a sledgehammer approach to your issue. I would first try to give the user rights to the serial port(s), see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/serial-in-linux.84714/post-536563 .

If you do want to use sudo w/o password (which I really do not recommend), see the following link for direction https://askubuntu.com/questions/192050/how-to-run-sudo-command-with-no-password
