Open a terminal window on your computer replacing <PiRogue IP address>
with the IP address of the PiRogue you’re trying to connect to,
ssh -p22 pi@<PiRogue IP address>
When the connection works you will see a security/authenticity warning. Type yes
to continue. You will only see this warning the first time you connect.
