====== Connect ======
* Connect your TV to Carambola using serial cable
{{:1.png?nolink&|}}
* Setup your TV to known ID. To do this, use your remote.
* Press ''MENU'', select ''SPECIAL''
* Select ''Set ID''
* Adjust ID from 1 to 99. I left default, which is 1.
====== Setup carambola ======
* Setup Carambola network. (I used Wireless as [[carambola_wifi|client (STA) mode]]). In this mode Carambola connects to my WIFI router automatically.
* Install picocom to carambola
opkg update
opkg install picocom
* I used USB 2 Serial converter, so I had to build custom firmware with enabled USB serial port support:
Under ''Kernel modules / USB support / kmod-usb-serial'' select all drivers if you are unsure which one you have or ''kmod-usb-serial-ftdi'' in our case. Read more [[carambola_where_to_start|here]]
{{:carambola_usb_serial_drivers2.png?nolink&500|}}
* Now you can test if it works. Run picocom.
picocom -f n -p n -b 9600 -i -r -l /dev/ttyUSB0
* To power off your TV type (TV remains responsive, and you can turn it on remotely):
ka 1 0<cr>
