"It's important that you power the Raspberry Pi through the standard USB power connector on the Pi. Don't attempt to power the Pi through any of the GPIO pins - doing so will bypass the Pi's voltage regulator and could harm the Pi."

"The software for The Internet Monitor is written in Python 3. Software and other required files are stored on github in the following library: https://github.com/bartstar/Internet-Monitor.git"

" I found it easier to SSH (using PuTTY) into the Pi from my laptop to access the files and enter commands.
Be sure to turn off WiFi in the configuration menu. Data rates through WiFi will be significantly reduced from your true download speeds. The Internet Monitor should be directly connected to your router with an internet cable."

"A log file is written to a file in /home/pi. The log file name is changed daily as "imon-ddmm.log" where dd is the day of the month and mm is the month of the year as a number (01-12). If the program is restarted more than once in a day, new log entries will be appended to the current log file. It is recommended that log files be deleted at least monthly  ..."
