- 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 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 to change the header again because it might be the cause of
