===== Week 8 =====

==== Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 ====
**Attended: Mizpah, Sharmaine, Xiao**

=== Updates === 
  * Got back our order forms signed by Dr. Kuh and uploaded it to Laulima
  * Conducted range testing: Different floors
        - Board suddenly turned off --> battery died
        - changed the battery but didn't power on --> checked voltage going out from the voltage regulator and it was 5V!
        - changed the voltage regulator to Pololu 3.3V voltage regulator --> not regulating to 3.3V
               - accidentally connected it backward --> it got HOT!! [MIZPAH GOT BURNED! ): ]
        - Since the battery is only 3.4V, decided to just not use a voltage regulator (temporarily)

  * XCTU RANGE TESTING NOTES:
        - Local = XBee module is connected to the computer
        - Remote = other XBee in the same network (not connected)
        - RSSI values (dBm): < -80 dBm = poor 
  

===To Do===
  * Conduct more range testing
  * Waiting response from Dr. Sasaki to send Gerber files to Linda


==== Meeting Minutes March 8, 2019 ====
**Attended: Mizpah, Sharmaine, Xiao**

=== Updates === 
  * Continuation of range testing: Line-of-Sight
        - Used LM1086 to regulate the input voltage to 3.3V
        - 
  * Still waiting for order confirmations from Linda
         - Mouser: Solar Lithium Ion/Polymer charger, XBee Pro S2C 
         - DigiKey: SMD Switches/Button, 0805 18 pF capacitors
         - Seeed: PCB 

===To Do===
  * Continue range testing for not line-of-sight
