Attended: Zach, Brian, Brandon, Ryan, Kim, Garrett, Christie

• Arduino tutorials
• Make Gantt chart
• Prepare for Proposal Presentations

• Make sure Arduino tutorials are finished
• Note on bare Arduino tutorials
  • Do not have voltage regulators, 16MHz Crystals
  • Can have students build the tutorials and leave spaces for the voltage regs while we buy parts
  • Can prototype with Arduino
• Students should be following their schedules
• Usual: progress, accomplishments, issues, goals for next week

• Update progress sheet by Fridays at 11:59 pm

• Proposal presentation on February 6 in iLab from 9-11 am with lunch after
• 296 students will have 6 minutes maximum to present
  • Content for their presentations is on the wiki
• Would be good to check content of presentations
  • Motivation should be the motivation for making a weatherbox not motivation for joining the lab
    • Why is it important to get solar irradiance data?
    • How can this be used?
    • Why is renewable energy good? etc.

• Zach is the main contact for this
  • Will have lab code
  • Will be trained on how to use equipment
  • Others will then need approval from him after learning to use the equipment

• Make sure students signed up for Ron Ho Fund
• Have students purchase a pyranometer, leveling plate and Arduino if there is extra money
• Christie will send out email

• Encouragement is good as well as constructive criticism
  • But push your students to continue to work hard
  • Do NOT let them think they are ahead and that they can take a break
  • Problems may come up down the road as well as studying for midterms that may push them back
• Feedback is good
  • Would like feedback from mentors on how it is going
    • Constructive feedback only helps us to improve our current process
  • Would like feedback from teams on how it is going
    • Important in adjusting the project to suit their needs
• Slack channel for EE296 students and mentors

• Project Badger
  • Arduino tutorials
  • Kyle working on XBee stuff
  • Preparing for presentation
    • Will solidify goals for semester
    • Possible projects
• Team Nova
