[Coco] Drive Wire Light UI

[coco at jechar.ca]

Thanks It worked great for a beginner though the instructions might be 
better if
they started out with

  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list     "nano friendler"
  sudo apt-get update                 "missing

Otherwise the instruvtions worked like a charm.

Thanks.
