Pre-requisites

1. A Raspberry Pi or other embedded device running *nix
2. Wired internet connection for Pi
3. Follow all of https://thepi.io/how-to-use-your-raspberry-pi-to-monitor-broadband-speed/ - if some parts don't work, don't worry. It contains the software setup necessary.

Setup

1. Clone this repo into your home directory, and rename it speedtest
2. Update monitor.sh and replace [ID-OF-GDRIVE-FOLDER] with the ID as found in step 3 in the pre-requisites
3. Update crontab and replace [USER] with your username
4. Copy the contents of crontab into crontab -e
5. Make sure the .csv files contain just the header when you set this up

Every hour, at 42 minutes past the hour (feel free to change this), the script will run speedtest and ping, storing the results in the Google Drive folder.
