Quick start guide
The following things are needed to setup your bGeigieCast for first time use
- Fully working bGeigieNano kit
- bGeigieCast module
- A mobile phone or laptop that can connect to a WiFi access point
The module is designed to be plug and play, so simply plug on the module on the XBee socket on the bGeigieNano. If you use a BLEBee bluetooth module, the bGeigieCast module will replace this.

The following steps will guide you through the configuration process
Step 1: Turn on the bGeigieNano
Now with the module on the bGeigieNano, switch on the device. This will also start up the bGeigieCast. The LED will blink (white color) to show the module is initializing.
Note: make sure the module is also powered on.

Step 2: Go into config mode
Once the LED stops blinking (solid white color), press the button to enter configuration mode. There is a 3 seconds time window to do this. After pressing the button, the LED should change to a solid purple color.

Step 3: Connect to the module
Open your mobile phone or laptop and open the list of available WiFi networks. In here, a new
network will show up with the name bgeigie1346 (where 1346 is your unique bGeigie ID).
Connect to this network, the default password is safecast.
