We want to be able to connect to the RaspberryPi with patchboxOS so we can connect to it via a local Ethernet cable directly connected to the computer without Router. Steps to follow:

download the patchbox image and put it on SD card with Etcher
setup fallback fixed IP if no DHCP server is in the network
1. Method A: connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the RaspberryPi.
2. Method B: connect Raspberry and Computer to a Router with DHCP.
open the terminal type ifconfig to see the local IP address of the computer.
type ping patchbox.local to see if the Rapberry is running and find its IP address. Tto stop the output press Ctl+Shift+C.
type ssh -X patch@{IP-address} to connect to the Raspberry. (Replace the curly brackets with the IP adress from the previous step.) Default password of the user "patch" is "blokaslabs"
Follow the setup and change the password.
add a fallback static IP if no DHCP server is in the network: Type sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf You are in a text editor now. uncomment (remove the # symbol) of the lines defining the fallback address like this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dhcpcd#Fallback_profile
