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
