Scratch does not display serial ports on Linux
Hi!
Scratch is unable to display serial ports other than /dev/ttyUSB*. So it is unable to communicate with modern Arduino boards connected via USB that appears as /dev/ttyACM* and with boards connected via Bluetooth (/dev/rfcomm*) of COM port (/dev/ttyS*).
The following patch fixes this issue:

cool. If you have a github account you could make a pull request to lightnin's repo.
