## Opening the lamp, to expose the PCB
Remove the rubber pads from the botton of the lamp, to get access to 4
screws that attach the bottom to the rest of the lamp. Note that you don't
have to remove these pads fully. Once you can access the screws, you've
gone far enough.

take a bit of force. Just pull it up bit by bit until it pops loose.

For some good pictures of disassembling this lamp, take a look [at this

but the translation by Google works well and moreover, the pictures are the
most important thing here. If you scroll down, you will find them easily.

## Solder the wires
The wires will be connected to the debug pads that are shown in the following image.

Many of the serial to USB adapter have some header pins to which you can
connect the wires of a device. Therefore, I find it most useful to take some
dupont wires with a female end to them, and cut off the other end. Strip the
wire on the other and, and solder this end to the board.

You can use some sticky tape to fixate the cables before soldering.
