| | 9 | '''Requirements:''' |
| | 10 | - Mega Arduino Board (Need both Arduino hardware & software for processing purposes) |
| | 11 | - Arduino Ethernet Shield (Need to connect the Arduino Board to different networks) |
| | 12 | - ORBIT Power Sensing Platform (Need to measure power) |
| | 13 | - PuTTY Pageant Software (Used to connect to ORBIT's "Grid Network" from ones PC to observe the collection of data) |
| | 14 | - PuTTY SSKEY (Used to create a secure shell key for secure data communication, PuTTY Pageant will require it for all ORBIT network connections) |
| | 15 | - Ruby ([[BR]] |
| | 16 | '''Procedure:''' |
| | 17 | 1: Connect the Arduino Board and Arduino Ethernet Shield to the ORBIT Power Sensing Platform as shown below: |
