.. _ref-quickstart: ================ Quickstart Guide ================ This guide is for installing a datagoo with hardware and firmware preinstalled. It details the steps for configuring and attaching the datagoo to a power supply, so that it is ready to send text notifications. Required Materials ================== * Datagoo * Current clamp * Small philips screwdriver * USB mini-b charger * Activated SIM card with SMS plan (minimum 50 SMS per month) * SD Card (minimum 16 MB) * AC measurement cord * Screws for mounting Installation ============ .. warning:: Make sure that all wires are disconnected from the device before removing the cover. #. Remove the high voltage cover (may require a small tool) and the two plastic knobs. .. image:: images/case_exploded_sim.png :height: 350 px #.

Create file ``CELL.TXT`` containing the mobile number to notify of power usage statistics and alerts. An example ``CELL.TXT`` file:: 5731921102 #. Place the SD card in the SD slot. #. Plug in USB charger. .. warning:: The USB charger should not be a computer. Plugging in the computer USB charger and line voltage to the voltage terminals at the same time will destroy both the datagoo and your computer. #. Connect current sensor. The current sensor should be clamped around only one wire. .. image:: images/current_sensor.jpg :height: 400 px .. warning:: Use extreme caution when working with high voltages. Stripping and connecting a live (plugged in) wire may cause electrocution to the user. #. Strip two wires for the AC voltage signal. Make sure it is not plugged in! #. Place one wire around the upper screw and screw down the plastic knob. Place the other wire on the lower screw and screw down the plastic knob.
