- | This is where the minutes go | ||

- | ====== What we learned ====== | ||
- | we are the only group currently using the arduino | ||
- | The red thing is a boost converter that boosts 3.7V to 5V | ||
- | Xbee runs at 3.3V | ||
- | there is a separate reg that converts that | ||
- | There is a mystery humidity sensor | ||
- | there's 2 humidity sensors one on the pressure sensor but they work differently | ||
- | Andy was mistaken about the power | ||
- | its not the power circuit, its the fact that the system itself pulls too much juice// | ||
- | Battery fully charges around midday// | ||
- | the panel never directly powers the circuit only powering the charging circuit to charge the battery// | ||
- | pressure and current sensor is connected to the i2c,// | ||
- | GPS is used for having a lot of weather boxes set up, you can tell which one/where the one we need// | ||
- | The buoy example// | ||
- | "Drop a box, can find it in a sea of other boxes"// | ||
- | Kenny is gonna make a core program for us to play around with the hardware we have, something to test out// | ||
- | By the end of the week, well have a program for the arduino that can access all the different sensors and see if they work// | ||
- | Start talking to the other teams for advice about the troubles that we are having// | ||
- | "Hey, were confused about this. Help?"// | ||
- | Takes care of the overlap// | ||
- | Kennys always willing to help// | ||

- | Power side and signal side | ||
- | "if it gets too crowded, split it up" -Kenny | ||
- | one for power, one for signal | ||
