# Configuración de xDrip+

If not already set up, then download [xDrip+](https://jamorham.github.io/#xdrip-plus).

Desactiva la optimización de la batería y permite la actividad en segundo plano para la aplicación xDrip+.

You can safely download the [latest APK (stable)](https://xdrip-plus-updates.appspot.com/stable/xdrip-plus-latest.apk) unless you need recent features or are using sensors that are being actively integrated (like G7), in which case you should use the latest [Nightly Snapshot](https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases).

## Configuración básica para todos los medidores contínuos (CGM), sistemas CGM puros o sistemas flash (FGM)

### Disable Nightscout upload

Starting with AAPS 3.2, you shouldn't let any other app upload data (blood glucose and treatments) to Nightscout.

→ Hamburger Menu (1) → Settings (2) → Cloud Upload (3) -> Nightscout Sync (REST-API)(4) → Switch **OFF** `Enabled` (5)

![xDrip+ Ajustes Básicos 1](../images/xDrip_Basic1.png)

#### Disable automatic calibration and treatments

If you use an older version of AAPS (before 3.2), make sure to deactivate `Automatic Calibration` (7) If the checkbox for `Automatic Calibration` is checked, activate `Download treatments` (6) once, then remove the checkbox for `Automatic Calibration` and deactivate `Download treatments` again.

![xDrip+ Ajustes Básicos 2](../images/xDrip_Basic2.png)

Tap `Extra Options`(8)

    {admonition} Safety warning
    :class: warning
    You must deactivate "Upload treatments" from xDrip+, otherwise treatments can be doubled in AAPS leading to false COB and IOB.

Deactivate `Upload treatments`(9) and make sure you will **NOT** use `Back-fill data` (11).

Option `Alert on failures` should also be deactivated (10). Otherwise you will get an alarm every 5 minutes in case Wi-Fi/mobile network issues or if the server is not available.

![xDrip+ Ajustes Básicos 3](../images/xDrip_Basic3.png)

### **Inter-app Settings** (Broadcast)

If you are going to use AAPS and the data should be forwarded to i.e. AAPS you have to activate broadcasting in xDrip+ in Inter-App settings.

→ Hamburger Menu (1) → Settings (2) → Inter-app settings (3) → Broadcast locally **ON** (4)

In order for the values to be identical in AAPS with respect to xDrip+, you should activate `Send the displayed glucose value` (5).

Enable Compatible Broadcast (6).

![xDrip+ Basic Settings 4](../images/xDrip_Basic4.png)

If you have also activated `Accept treatments` in xDrip+ and `Enable broadcasts to xDrip+` in AAPS xDrip+ plugin, then xDrip+ will receive insulin, carbs and basal rate information from AAPS.

If you enable `Accept Calibrations`, xDrip+ will use the calibrations from AAPS. Be careful when you use this feature with Dexcom sensors: read [this](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Calibrate-G6.html) first.

Remember to disable Import Sounds to avoid xDrip+ making a ringtone every time AAPS sends a basal/profile change.

![xDrip+ Basic Settings 5](../images/xDrip_Basic5.png)

(xdrip-identify-receiver)=

#### Identificar receptor

- If you discover problems with local broadcast (AAPS not receiving BG values from xDrip+) go to → Hamburger Menu (1) Settings (2) → Inter-app settings (3) → Identify receiver (7) and enter `info.nightscout.androidaps` for AAPS build (if you are using PumpControl build, please enter `info.nightscout.aapspumpcontrol` instead!!).
- Importante: la corrección automática a veces tiende a cambiar la "i" de "info" por una mayúscula. You **must use only lowercase letters** when typing `info.nightscout.androidaps` (or `info.nightscout.aapspumpcontrol` for PumpControl). Capital I would prevent the App from receiving BG values from xDrip+.
    
    ![xDrip+ Inter-app Ajustes Básicos Identificar receptor](../images/xDrip_InterApp_NS.png)

## Use AAPS to calibrate in xDrip+

- If you want to be able to use AAPS to calibrate then in xDrip+ go to Settings → Interapp Compatibility → Accept Calibrations and select ON. 
- You may also want to review the options in Settings → Less Common Settings → Advanced Calibration Settings.

## Dexcom G6

- El transmisor Dexcom G6 puede conectarse simultáneamente al receptor Dexcom (o alternativamente a la bomba t:slim) y a una aplicación en tu teléfono.
- Para usar xDrip+ como receptor, desinstala primero la aplicación Dexcom. **No se puede conectar al mismo tiempo la aplicación xDrip+ y Dexcom con el transmisor.**
- If you need Clarity and want to profit from xDrip+ features, use the [Build Your Own Dexcom App](#DexcomG6-if-using-g6-with-build-your-own-dexcom-app) with local broadcast to xDrip+, or use xDrip+ as a Companion app receiving notifications from the official Dexcom app.

### La versión de xDrip+ a utilizar depende del número de serie de los transmisores G6.

- All G6 transmitters manufactured after fall/end 2018 are called "Firefly". They do not allow sensor restart without [removing the transmitter](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Remove-transmitter.html), they do not send raw data. It is recommended to use the latest [Nightly Snapshot](https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases).
- Old rebatteried transmitters and modified transmitters allow sensor life extension and restarts, they also send raw data. You can use the [latest APK (stable)](https://xdrip-plus-updates.appspot.com/stable/xdrip-plus-latest.apk).

### Ajustes específicos de Dexcom

- Follow [these instructions](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/G6-Recommended-Settings.html) to setup xDrip+.

### No se recomiendan reinicios preventivos

**Only rebatteried or modified Dexcom transmitters. [Preemptive restarts](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Preemptive-Restart.html) do not work with standard transmitters and will stop the sensor completely: you need to [remove the transmitter](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Remove-transmitter.html) to restart the sensor.**

The automatic extension of Dexcom sensors (`preemptive restarts`) is not recommended as this might lead to “jumps” in BG values on day 9 after restart.

![xDrip+ Jump after Preemptive Restart](../images/xDrip_Dexcom_PreemptiveJump.png)

To use it safely, there are a few points to be aware of:

- Si estás usando los datos nativos con el código de calibración en xDrip+ o Spike, la cosa más segura es no permitir reinicios preventivos del sensor.
- Si debe usar reinicio preventivo, a continuación, asegúrese de insertar una hora del día donde puede observar el cambio y calibrar si es necesario. 
- Si está reiniciando sensores, o bien haga esto sin la calibración de fábrica para obtener resultados más seguros en los días 11 y 12, o asegúrate de que estás listo para calibrar y vigilar la variación.
- La preabsorción del G6 con calibración de fábrica es probable que dé variaciones en los resultados. Si haces preconfiguración, entonces para obtener los mejores resultados, probablemente necesitarás calibrar el sensor.
- Si no estás observando los cambios que pueden estar teniendo lugar, puede ser mejor volver al modo no calibrado en fábrica y usar el sistema como un G5.
