Our aim here is to use Octave to configure the mangOH board so that it uploads its light sensor value to the cloud every two minutes.
# Heartbeat
# Preconfiguration
In Octave, display **Resources** page:
Ensure that [mangOH welcome application is disabled](settingup/Disable welcome application) and that heartbeat and developer mode are configured as described in [this page](settingup/Heartbeat and developer mode).
This guarantees that the board contacts the cloud every 60 s at least. Thus, we are sure to be able to download a new configuration to the mangOH board, even if we disable all data uploads and developer mode (see below).
The light sensor is component U506 (see section 2.1 of [mangOH Yellow Hardware Architecture Guide](http://mangoh.io/uploaded-documents/Reference/mangOH%20Yellow/Discover/HW%20Reference%20Manual/41113116%20mangOH%20Yellow%20HW%20Guide%20-%20HTML5-Responsive%20HTML5/#t=41113116_mangOH_Yellow_HW_Guide_-_HTML5%2FHardware%2FHardware.htm)).

Now, let's configure light sensor handling in such a way that its value is sent to the cloud every two minutes:
***light/enable**: **true**
***light/period**: **120**
## Observation
