      * Added a resistor to Vin of the xbee

+==== Meeting Minutes September 8,2017 ====
+**Attended:Isaiah, Kayla, Rebecca**
+Actions:
+   *Replaced both capacitors (both to 10 μF)
+   *Changed resistor added last meeting from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ to receive steady voltage of 3.33 V.
+   * Started from square one, and ran through a bunch of different test
+    * Tested by hooking up bare arduino to a power supply. Both 5V into the 3.3V reg and just 3.3V to the whole circuit
+    * Made sure xbees were configured correctly
+    * Sent simple test packets between the 3 xbees using XCTU
+    * Tested the relay using an arduino instead of our bare arduino
+    * After seeing the relay work using 2 arduinos, we went back to using one arduino to send and the bare arduino to relay
+Current Concerns:
+   *Found that 1 and 3 cannot communicate with each other
+   *Encountered two defective arduino boards
+   *Must add additional LEDs for debugging
+   *Find solution to rid of hardcoding address
+Outcomes:
+  * Relay is now working properly
+  * Not quite sure what fixed it
+    * Possible reasons:
+      * Xbee wasn't getting enough power
+      * Somewhere in the code got messed up
