Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019
Attended: Mizpah, Sharmaine, Xiao
Updates
- Got back our order forms signed by Dr. Kuh and uploaded it to Laulima
- Conducted range testing: Different floors
- Board suddenly turned off –> battery died
- changed the battery but didn't power on –> checked voltage going out from the voltage regulator and it was 5V!
- changed the voltage regulator to Pololu 3.3V voltage regulator –> not regulating to 3.3V
- accidentally connected it backward –> it got HOT!! [MIZPAH GOT BURNED! ): ]
- Since the battery is only 3.4V, decided to just not use a voltage regulator (temporarily)
- XCTU RANGE TESTING NOTES:
- Local = XBee module is connected to the computer
- Remote = other XBee in the same network (not connected)
- RSSI values (dBm): < -80 dBm = poor
To Do
- Conduct more range testing
- Waiting response from Dr. Sasaki to send gerber files to Linda
