=====Dragonfruit Team Meeting - January 27th, 2017===== Attended: Kevin, Gordon, Tyler ==== Updates ==== * Transmission Test 1 * Board lasted for 17 hours * Battery voltage was last recorded as 3.7V therefore unsure why board stopped transmitting * could be due to Ghost voltage or marginal short * Could also be due to Gateway crashing * After power cycling board, the board powered on and started transmitting * Transmission Test 2 * Board lasted for 56.3 hours * Battery voltage was last recorded as 3.0V meaning the battery discharged before ending transmission * HOWEVER, once power cycled the board was able to send heartbeat packets * Dylan helped create a code for Arduino that would help us monitor if our XBee experienced a ghost voltage * This code will record voltages and notify when a voltage is greater than 3.3V * Having a voltage greater than 3.3V means that something other than the Voltage regulator is powering the XBee * currently we have no way of writing this data to a file * Contacted Tyrin about 3D printing the rest of housing * Testing board again with all sensors attached, and screwed into the housing * Kevin working on Gantt Chart * Gordon bringing together all necessary parts to populate another board (getting familiar with all the parts of DragonFruit) ==== Problems ==== * There is currently a bizarre lack of problems ==== Goals ==== * Deploy board * Program board 4 and 5 * use these boards for testing * Complete redesign of new board * no parallel voltage planes surrounding charging chip if possible * new GPS and RTC components
