 ====== Connecting a New Oak ======
-**IMPORTANT NOTE:** If you previously used a Beta release please first do a factory reset and ensure your Arduino Oak package is up to date at version 1.0.0: [[http://github.com/digistump/OakRestore|Details to perform a factory reset]]

 ====== Powering your Oak ======
-You can power your Oak a variety of ways. The easiest is to connect a good quality micro-usb cable to the on-board USB port and connect that to a computer or powered USB hub/charger. The port and cable should be able to provide 500ma (burst/80ma continous), some older computers may not provide enough power.

-You can also power your Oak from a REGULATED 3.3V DC power source capable of supplying at least 500ma of clean power - connect this to one of the two VCC and one of the three GND pins.

 ====== Particle Account ======
-The Oak uses the Particle Cloud to receive code uploads when you program it from the Arduino IDE or the Particle IDE. When your Oak is set up it will add itself to your Particle account. You must have a Particle account to setup your Oak. If you do not have one already you can register for one as part of the next step.

 ====== WiFi Configuration ======
+**TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE:** If the device you are using to configure the Oak has both an Ethernet and WiFi connection please disable or unplug the Ethernet connection before starting this setup. This will ensure it will not interfere with the setup procedure regardless of your network setup.

Do not be concerned if your computer or device says that the Oak has a 'Limited connection' or 'No Internet', as this simply means that there is no internet access via the Oaks wireless, and is expected behaviour.
