`sudo python pyPlc.py P S`.
We should see how the EVSE and PEV are talking to each other.
## Sudo-less run of pyPLC
The access to the ethernet raw data requires sudo. To avoid this, the following setting may help:
- Find out the path of python: `which python`. This gives something like /usr/bin/python
- Find out the "real" name of the python. The above /usr/bin/python may be a link, but we need the location where it points to.
`ls -al /usr/bin | grep python`. This shows e.g. that python is a link to python3, and python3 is a link to python3.9, and this is the real file.
- Give python the permission to access the raw ethernet traffic, e.g. `sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/python3.9`
(discussed in https://github.com/SmartEVSE/SmartEVSE-3/issues/25#issuecomment-1563519025)
- When this was done, the `python pyPlc.py E` etc work without `sudo`.
## Auto-start of the PEV software
Use case: You use a RaspberryPi in the car, and want to start the charging software just by powering-up the Raspberry.
