====== Team Apple Minutes September 22, 2015 ======
**Attended: Kaeo, Tyrin, Tryston, and Kenny**

===== 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 regulator to convert that.)
  * There is a mystery humidity sensor.
  * There's 2 humidity sensors. One is on the pressure sensor, but they work differently.
  * Andy was mistaken about the power.
    * It's not the power circuit. It's the fact that the system itself pulls too much juice.
  * Battery fully charges around midday.
  * The panel never directly powers the circuit. It only powers 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, and you can tell which one/where the one we need is located. (Buoy Example)
    * "Drop a box, and be able to 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, we'll 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?”
    * By asking questions, this takes care of the overlap among the teams.
    * Kennys always willing to help

===== Issues =====
  * N/A

    * “If it gets too crowded, split it up.” -Kenny
