*Changed resistor added last meeting from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ to receive steady voltage of 3.33 V. | *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 | ||

+ | 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 | ||
