    * Kenny will send out notes on the XBee
    * Check voltage of XBee
      * Could use power supply
  * Bare Arduino with FTDI
    * Christie will post notes on how to do this
  * Eagle Schematic
    * Tryston made 5V switch
    * Teams will need to make humidity switch

===== Lab Hours over Spring Break =====
