Attended: Kaeo, Tryston, Jon

• I2C stuff
• 0 ohm resistors
• giant cap on the charging circuit

• Don't start from scratch with Apple

• First step would be to clean up
• The current schematic is crowded
• Don't use less than 10 millimeters in the traces
• Jon's rules use groups
  • Group 1 - POWER
  • Group 2 - IC SENSORS
• Stay away from large traces that go across the entire page
  • Use the label tool instead.
• Don't use the ticket labels for power
  • Use the arrows instead.
• Clean up the current schematic and make it easier to follow the traces
• Make sure the schematic is SECTIONED APPROPRIATELY (have clear things)
• Make sure the schematic includes TECHNICAL DETAILS (NAME AND VALUE) (ratings and tolerances on the schematic)
• The 0 ohm resistor is a JUMPER used for getting faster (data? still not sure.)

Maybe break things up to:
1. Schematic (EagleCAD) [electrical aspects]
2. Assembly (parts and assembly) [in between both mechanical and electrical aspects]
3. Housing (the box and stuff) [mechanical aspects]

• Bill of material to start things off.
• Thru holes devices are bigger. Surface mounts devices are smaller.
  • On a professional level reducing space cuts costs as well.
• Need to watch the plugged in programming (debugging).
• Layout do it on the prof license. The schematic can be done on the free version.
• Make sure you have the things linked (make sure to keep the things updated)
• Parts lists of the housing stuff including the misc electrical items like the headers

• Presentation is coming up soon.
• Gotta work on the Powerpoint.
