===== Week 2 ===== ==== Meeting Minutes September 11,2017 ==== **Attended:Isaiah, Kayla, Rebecca** * Retested the board to see if it still works * Wasn't working at first * re-uploading the code to the relay module fixed the problem * Created Gantt Chart ==== Meeting Minutes September 13,2017 ==== **Attended:Isaiah, Kayla, Rebecca** * Completed step 1 of Ron Ho Fund - College Purchasing * Started to research solar charging chip * Decided to implement the solar charging chip into our schematic rather than using just a header ==== Meeting Minutes September 15,2017 ==== **Attended:Isaiah, Kayla, Rebecca** * Submitted paragraph proposal to Jaimie * Meeting with Dr Kuh (Meeting Minutes) * Wants to have a little more data with xbee range testing (Rebecca) * Send Dr. Kuh slides of proposal presentation before presentation day * Talk to software team about networking issues * He may not be able to make it to proposals * Dr. Kuh goals for us * Build a functional board * Have our box to relay messages * Data packets most important part * Gather data from one end point to more central location * Data management when there are multiple boards * Networking modes * Sending data to different locations * One to many * Many to one * Get board working consistently * Recruit more people for our team to keep continuity * Calibration of device * line of sight, through walls, weather * understanding the actual range of the device **Fixes** * Unable to program bare arduino * Took out reset button * Changed pull up resistor to reset pin from 1k to 10k * Connected RTS pin of FTDI in series with 0.1uF capacitor to reset pin of pic * Still only works once (Unable to program a second time)
