- Team Rocket still need to purchase parts
Fablab Access
- Zach need to check on access to room for other members as well as training
- Zach still trying to contact Dr. Garmire for learning to use CNC mill
- UH Fablab page has tutorials on how to use the mill
- Will go through tutorials together
- Go over tutorials before spring break ends
296 Project Updates
- Charging Circuit
- Get voltage reading
- Get teams on track or ahead of time
- Account for milling time
- Will take 2-3 hours to mill one PCB
- XBee
- Kenny will send out notes on the XBee
- Check voltage of XBee
- Could use power supply
- Bare Arduino with FTDI
- Christie will post notes on how to do this
- Eagle Schematic
- Tryston made 5V switch
- Teams will need to make humidity switch
Lab Hours over Spring Break
- No Tuesday hours since no AC and power outage
- Will ask leadership team or mentors to help keep hours open
- Will send out hours
- No mentorship meeting
