O_o

Without knowing anything about this, it would probably be a help since I talk to 3D printers (Arduinos) and other serial things quite often. 

It would also be very cool if it could simulate a serial device so I could mimic real hardware.

How would I go about finding and installing this plug in? I looked in Preferences, nothing there, tried About Plugins.. doesn't seem to have an on-line repository search & install feature?
