Updates
Uploaded relay code to PCB board
Test PCB board to see if it will transmit packets
the coordinator cannot recognize relay Xbee
Had to change Xbee header because the ground pin was broken
After soldering new header, coordinator recognized both relay and sending Xbee
tried transmitting packets again, however, the coordinator is not receiving any packets
we checked whether Xbee is getting any power
Andrew used the oscilloscope to check if our RX and TX connections were good
When we probe into the pad, we get signal. However, when we probe into the Xbee, we were not getting anything. So, Andrew suggested changing the header again because it might be the cause
