| 7 | +## Soldering and board installation |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +1. Cut PCB to the right size if neccessary. |
| 12 | +2. Drill two mounting holes into PCB to fit the board at the end of the case. |
| 13 | +3. Solder the componentes onto PCB (daughterboard). |
| 14 | +4. Screw Arduino with shield and spacers into case (saw spacers to the right length in neccessary). |
| 15 | +5. Install daughterboard. |
| 16 | +6. Wire daughterboard to Arduino. |
| 17 | + |

| 20 | +## Installing software |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +1. Format SD card to FAT16 with [SDcard formatter (recommended)](https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/) |
| 23 | +2. Store website (content of `web/src/`) on SD card. |
| 24 | +3. Put SD card into ethernet shield. |
| 25 | +4. Connect Arduino to a powerd on PC via USB and the shield to a router via ethernet. |
| 26 | +5. Open router configuration, set a static IP range and choose a free IP address. |
| 27 | +6. Set the IP address in the `server.ino` file and save. |
| 28 | +7. Open Arduino IDE and upload `server.ino` to Arduino. |
| 29 | +8. Test if the website can be reached by typing the IP into the webbrowser. |
| 30 | +9. Unplug all the cables from the Arduino for the next steps. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Installing into PC |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +1. Turn off Arduino and PC and detach from power. |
| 35 | +2. Install USB internal header on the PC's motherboard. See your motherboard manual for a free USB header. |
| 36 | +3. Wire cables between your PC and Arduino like following and close the case. |
| 37 | +4. Connect Arduino to the USB header. |
| 38 | +5. Connect the shield to ethernet to router. |
| 39 | +6. Restore power to PC again. Arduino should turn on. |
| 40 | +7. Open webbrowser on phone to open the website and turn on PC by pressing the power on button. |
| 41 | +8. PC should start. |
