Race faster!






1) Configure -- This means downloading RA, connecting RCP to it and configuring at least the basic stuff (gps, accel, speed, remote server IP & serial #) BRENT: does RA & RCP understand hostnames and will we give users a serial #? If it doesn't understand hostnames we need to make some adjustments in AWS to setup an elastic IP that won't change. Otherwise it's gonna suck if it does.

  Also means setting up sensor configuration etc, probably not worth going over in quickstart.

2) Signup for an account on race-capture.com. Add your device and serial # (website prompts after signup to add one). Once RCP starts logging a race event will be created and you'll see it on the homepages. BRENT can we send Fred a telemetry module? 2) Connect to a 'real' 12v power source in the car (RCP can't power itself, GPS and the telemetry module via usb, trust me, I've tried) 3) Connect GPS & telemetry module 4) Turn on (if not already on). 5) Press log button 6) Watch for LEDs to blink appropriately. BRENT what are the realtime module LEDS status codes? Got those documented anywhere? Quickstart should have a list of what each blink/led means.
