=====Dragonfruit Team Meeting - October 16th, 2017===== Attended: Kevin, Kyaw, Tyler ==== Updates 10/16 ==== * Started soldering circuit ==== Updates 10/19 ==== * Continued soldering * Found 0 ohm resistor (pkg 0805) * Tested using heat lamp * Voltage across VCC on the charging ckt (on board) spiked whenever we turned on the heat lamp to simulate the sun * Spiked to ~6.4V and suddenly dropped back down to ~4 V * This could be one of the problems why the board keeps dying * Potential solutions: * Capacitor (choose a right value?) * If the voltage spike is due to current, we could use an Inductor ==== Tasks ==== * Review csv file for Weatherbox deployment analysis * Code an arduino to monitor current drawn by charging chip * Start soldering next week (Tyler) * Start with charging chip * Investigate short circuit current of solar panel (Kyaw)
