Phase 0: General Setup

Phase 0 focuses on getting everything required for an OpenAPS implementation procured, installed, and ready for tinkering. This is primarily accomplished through following steps in the Hardware and Setup sections.

• Upon Completion
  • Have collected some of your own baseline data to use for future analysis
  • Have gone through the setup process and be able to help others do the same
  • Possess hardware and software tools necessary to build an OpenAPS implementation

• Phase Tasks
  • Store at least 30 days of CGM data and/or a recent A1c
  • Procure hardware
  • Download and install software and tools
  • Test a subset of tools to make sure they work as expected

• Community Contribution
  • Provide feedback on ...
    • Hardware procurement (cheap deals, alternatives)
    • Difficulties with installation process (‘this looked different on my system” or “I couldn’t locate that menu” or “I ran into this error”)
    • Solutions to overcome setup difficulties, especially for systems that are not yet covered (some different flavor of Linux, for example)
  • Help edit setup instructions for accuracy, coverage, ease of understanding
