Demo Machine

1. Now it's time to add your first machine! Click on "Add Machine". You'll see 2 options here:



1. We're first going to take a look at the easiest onboarding option - Demo Machine - but if you're a Raspberry Pi owner, please feel free to skip this step and jump straight to option 2. The demo machine onboarding process won't take more than five minutes and is ideal for beginners. Select the Demo Machine option and click "Continue→".
2. On the next screen, you will be asked to select machine class. Select whichever you like the most and click "Continue →". Here we chose "Electric Vehicle".



1. On the next screen, you'll be asked to provide machine details, like the machine serial number, machine name, and model. Don't have this info? Worry not, we will get it from peaq eot demo app. Don't close this tab yet, we will return to it in a minute.



1. Go to peaq eot demo app and connect with your polkadot.js wallet. Make sure to use the same wallet as for peaq control.



1. Click "Get Machines" and select a machine of the same class as you selected in peaq control. In this case we chose "Electric Vehicle".



1. Once you click "Get Machine", you will see the pop-up with machine details. Copy the serial number and head back to peaq control tab.



1. Back on the peaq control tab, enter the serial number, enter a cool name for your machine, and select its model. Then, click "Continue →".



1. Next, you will see another pop-up asking you to sign a transaction which will generate a peaqID for your machine. Enter your password and click "Sign the transaction".



1. Next, you'll see this loading screen (which normally takes <30 seconds to finish).



1. Finally, you will see a message confirming that your machine is now part of the Economy of Things on peaq. If you want, you can review the appropriate transaction on the blockchain through the link in the message.



Raspberry Pi Onboarding

1. To begin connecting your Raspberry Pi to peaq, click on "Add Machine" and select Raspberry Pi as the machine type and click "Continue →".



1. Your Raspberry Pi can simulate a variety of devices on peaq network. Select the machine class you would like your it to act as and click "Continue →"



1. Enter the name for your Raspberry Pi and select its model in the drop-down menu.



1. Next, you'll need to install Raspbian OS on your Raspberry Pi. To do that, follow the steps listed:



1. Enter your Raspberry Pi's domain name and its name that you assigned in the previous step.



1. Open the terminal or the command line on your PC or Mac and paste the command you see on the screen (the command's exact configuration depends on your domain name and Raspberry Pi name).



1. If installed successfully, you will see this pop-up.



1. If the process fails, you'll see the error message and a tip on how to fix the issue yourself. If you don't manage to solve the problem yourself, follow the link to the Discord channel where you could get all the needed support.



Connect your machine to a dApp

1. The next step is to connect your machine to a dApp to make it discoverable for the dApp's users. First, head to the dApp store page on peaq control.



1. Click "Connect Machine" on the dApp compatible with your machine type. In this case the dApp is charge.xyz, a decentralized peer-to-peer electrical vehicle charging platform.



1. After clicking "Connect Machine", you will see the list of your machines which are not yet connected to dApps. Select the machine you would like to connect to the dApp and click "Connect Machine".



1. Congratulations! You connected your first machine to the dApp. Now, let's go to eot demo to use your machine.
