### Connecting to the Pingvin unit
- Connect an RS-485 adapter to the computer you intend to run the daemon on
- Tested only on a RPi 4B and Zero W 1 with the Zihatec RS-485 HAT
- You may need terminating resistors in your adapter, see documentation
- Ensure the user has read/write privileges to the serial device.
- No need to run the daemon as root, and it is not recommended

- Shut down the main power of the unit
- Disconnect the device from mains, discharge any static electricity before proceeding
- A new motherboard seems to cost close to 1000€ + labour
- Open the cover in which the power switch is attached to. No need to disconnect the switch, there
should be enough length in the wires to move the lid with the switch connected out of the way
- Locate the green RS-485 connector on the motherboard
