How to connect to your brand new Kinkan? There are a couple of ways to do this and we do recommend:

• Via serial: picocom for Linux and OSX, putty for Windows.
• Ethernet: ssh for Linux and OSX, putty for Windows.

Serial connectivity is already integrated on your Kinkan via mini USB. If you are powering it using a USB to mini USB cable then there is nothing else required for you to plug in to use a serial terminal.

Simply run the program, enter a COM port number, select the baudrate 115200 and click "connect".

Just run picocom with 115200 bps and a serial interface parameter. Your serial device might be named /dev/ttyUSB[n] where [n] is your serial id set by your operating system.

picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

You can check your available serial devices with this command:

ls /dev/ttyUSB*

To exit from picocom press CTRL+a+x.
