Setup of the MedEasy Kit before departure

The Xiaomi powerbank should be fully charged.

Open the kit and press the button on the side of the powerbank to see if all four battery-indicator lights are turned on.

If they are all light up, you're ready!

If some lights are missing, it might still be ok to go ahead, but you must be aware that the system will not be able to run for as long as it usually would.

As a general rule, you should take the kit with a minimum of three lights, which indicates a total battery life of about three hours.

Both the phones and the keyboards should be fully charged before departing for the slums.

To check the phone's battery, look at the screen's top right corner battery indicator.

As a general rule, the phone's battery should be at least 70% in order to be able to use the phone reliably in the slums.

You are not able to check the keyboard's battery. Therefore, we recommend you to charge it overnight in order to ensure its battery is at full capacity in the morning.

However, a _______ indicator light will appear when the keyboard is low on battery.

When charging you will see a red indicator light.

When fully charged, you will see a green indicator light.

The router and the Raspberry Pi must be connected to the Xioami powerbank using the power cables.

Check whether the cable between the router and the powerbank is connected properly (labelled in blue).

Check whether the cable between the Raspberry Pi and the powerbank is connected properly (labelled in orange).

If everything is working correctly, you are ready to go!

If the cables are not correctly connected, unplug them and plug them in again, then check them all again.

The router must be connected to the Raspberry Pi via an Ethernet Cable (labelled in orange).

Check if the cable between both is connected correctly. The Ethernet connection input should show:

A yellow light on the left side (indicating that a 100Mbit (LAN) is connected).

A green light on the right side (indicating that there is Link/Activity (LAN)).

If the lights show those colours, you are ready to go!

If there are no lights, or if the lights are in another colour, unplug the cable from both ends and plug it in again. Check the lights again.

The Raspberry Pi must be equipped with an 8GB microSD card.

Check if the microSD card is inserted inside the Raspberry Pi. It is located on the underside of the motherboard, where the red arrow is pointing.

If correctly inserted, you should see a flashing green light on the side near the the power input (as shown by the green arrow). If so, you're good to go!

If you don't see this light, or if this light is in another colour, remove the microSD by pushing it in, and then allowing it to move out. Then, reinsert it and check the lights again.

If the light doesn't flash, or if you can't boot the Pi, refer to this troubleshooting section.

The Raspberry Pi needs to be supplied with a constant electric current from the powerbank in order to function.

Check whether the Raspberry Pi is receiving energy from the powerbank by looking at the power indicator light.

The green light next to the "ACT" label stands for microSD card activity. The red light next to it is the power indicator light.

The red power LEDs indicate that the Pi has an active power supply. It will stay on if the power supply is correct, but will start blinking if the voltage drops below 4.63V.

If it starts blinking or isn't turned on, refer to this troubleshooting section.

The router needs a constant energy supply from the powerbank in order to function correctly.

Check whether the router is receiving energy by looking at the status indicator light.

The router will turn on automatically as soon as it is plugged to the powerbank.

If the router's power supply is stable, the status indicator light should be flashing green. If so, you're ready to go!

If there is no light, or if the light is in any other colour, unplug the power cable between the router and the powerbank from both ends. Then plug it in again and recheck the router's status indicator light.

This is a very important step!

You must sync the data from the cloud database to the phone.

To do so, go the main menu, and then into settings and sync subsection.

Then press the button labelled "BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE"

Allow it to synchronise.

At this stage, all components should be working properly. You must ensure that your mobile device can connect to the MedEasy's hotspot prior to syncing the data with the Pi.

Before changing to the MedEasy Wifi, you must log out of the app first. You may find how to do so here.

Open your phone's settings app, then look for Wi-Fi settings.

Look for the network named MedEasy and tap it. It should begin connecting, and will prompt you to give the network's password.

Password: 12345678

If your phone connected properly, you should see a Wi-Fi icon on the top status bar of your phone. Now, log in again.

If it didn't connect correctly, try again. If the problem persists, turn your device off and on and try again. If the problems still persists, turn the MedEasy kit off and on and try again.

This is a very important step!

You must sync to the Pi the data that you had previously synced from the cloud database.

To do so, access settings from the main menu as you had previously done. Select the sync subsection.

Then press the second button, the one labelled "BEFORE STARTING MOBILE CLINIC"

Allow it to sync.

Before shutting down the kit, you must manually turn off the server from within the app.

From the landing page, access the settings page and then click on the button labelled "Server Status".

From this page you may look at the server details.

To turn off the server, press on the power button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Confirm your action on the popup screen!

There is a total of three major components inside the MedEasy case:

Raspberry Pi (in the blue box).

Router (in the green box).

Powerbank (in the red box).

All of them must be carefully secured in the MedEasy case as shown in the image.
