=====Dragonfruit Team Meeting - Week of April 23rd, 2018===== Attended: Kyaw, Tyler ==== Updates ==== * Firmware was successfully uploaded on April 15th by Andrew * Tested board again to make sure the voltages are consistent * One of the inductors between 3.3V regulator and 5V booster becomes really hot only when Xbee is plugged in * We resolved the issue of the heating inductor by replacing it with another one that is rated at a higher current rating. * The Xbee is now receiving ~3.9V instead of less than 3.3V * We tried to put a diode between the 3.3V regulator and the Xbee power supply pin to lower the ~3.9V to ~3.3V with a voltage drop of approximately ~0.5V from the diode. * The Xbee is still receiving ~3.9V even after that; so, we decided to replace the 3.3V regulator to see if the problem was from the 3.3V regulator. * The problem still exists so we desoldered the whole 3.3V regulator and tested the voltage at the Xbee power supply pin * 3.9 V still measured at the XBee power pin even when the 3.3V reg is taken off ==== Future Tasks ==== * Final Presentation soon^(TM) * Poster Presentation soon^(TM)
