 Make it executable <code> chmod +x battMonitor.py </code>
+== Create bash startup script – getBattMonitor.sh ==
+<code>
+nano getBattMonitor.sh
+#!/bin/bash
+sudo python3 /home/robin/battMonitor.py
+sleep 1

+Make it executable <code> chmod +x getBattMonitor.sh </code>

+Now is the time to test your work. Connect a variable power supply set to less tha 5 volts to the batt+ and Gnd connections of your Arduino and measure the voltage between GND & A0 It should be about one third of your variable power supply voltage.
+Start the script with <code> ~/getBattMonitor.sh </code> After a few seconds you should see something like the following...
+a <code> get /opt/oarc/bpq/beacon </code> from a second terminal should match and follow the output at 5 second intervals
