Brick Viewer and Daemon
To work with Tinkerforge devices on our laptop, we need to install two small programs:

Brick Viewer from Tinkerforge

For this, we must locate the configuration file of the Brick Daemon, change one line, save, and then restart the Brick Daemon service. Follow the instructions on the Tinkerforge documentation website:
