+- With Win10 notebook in PevMode, tested on Alpitronics HPC and ABB Triple charger. On the Alpi, the SLAC and SDP works. The TCP connection fails. On ABB, the SLAC, SDP and TCP works. Also the protocol negotiation works. We come until ChargeParamDiscoveryReqest.
+- Log messages are sent via UDP port 514 as broadcast, like Syslog messages. The Wireshark shows them as readable text, so we have the actual communication between car and charger in the trace and also the debug log.

+- With Win10 notebook in EvseMode, tested on the Ioniq car. It comes until the CurrentDemandRequest.
+- For using Raspberry in PevMode without display, there is now the pevNoGui.py, which can be auto-started by configuring a service which calls starter.sh, and this calls starter.py (this is still expermental).
+- The old Raspberry model B needs 90s from power-on until it sends the first log messages. Means, the boot is quite slow.
