Meeting Minutes September 8,2017
Attended:Isaiah, Kayla, Rebecca
Actions:
Replaced both capacitors (both to 10 μF)
Changed resistor added last meeting from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ to receive steady voltage of 3.33 V.
Started from square one, and ran through a bunch of different test
Tested by hooking up bare arduino to a power supply. Both 5V into the 3.3V reg and just 3.3V to the whole circuit
Made sure xbees were configured correctly
Sent simple test packets between the 3 xbees using XCTU
Tested the relay using an arduino instead of our bare arduino
After seeing the relay work using 2 arduinos, we went back to using one arduino to send and the bare arduino to relay
Current Concerns:
Found that 1 and 3 cannot communicate with each other
Encountered two defective arduino boards
Must add additional LEDs for debugging
Find solution to rid of hardcoding address
