[Coco] pyDriveWire Q

[coco at jechar.ca]

I noticed that the syntax --ui-port 6800 is incorrect for Linux at least 
replace it
with -U 6800 also the ui folder must be the subdirectory of your current 
path.
In Linux your user must be a member of group dip thats all you need for 
Linux Mint
I found however that in Ubuntu it would only work if I ran as root,

sudo ./pyDriveWire -U 6800 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --speed 115200
