=====Dragonfruit Team Meeting - October 24, 2016===== Attended: Keane, Kevin, Tyler ==== Updates ==== * Soldered voltage divider to the solar irradiance sensor. Step down an input of 5V to 1.6667V * Created Gantt Chart * Learned (from Cranberry) how to check sensor readings, but need clarification from Nathan about polling. ==== Problems ==== * When connecting XBEE and FTDI the board creates a higher pitch sound (both in frequency and amplitude). * Makes noise everytime it sends a packet. * The 3.3 Voltage Regulator EN pin is controlled by the XB_EN, so you have to edit the software to set the voltage to high. If not, the voltage regulator steps the voltage down to 2.2 V instead of 3.3. ==== Goals for this week ==== * Deploy by Thursday * Check data sent from board * Start researching new components. Look at GPS in SCEL and check if it matches specs of the board. * Look into printing a xerox version of the circuit diagram * Create an updated version of the board * updated circuit power connections to microcontroller * voltage dividers * GPS * real time clock
