Attended: Kaeo, Tyrin, Tryston, and Kenny

• We are the only group currently using the Arduino
• The red thing is a boost converter that boosts 3.7V to 5V
• Xbee runs at 3.3V. (There is a separate regulator to convert that.)
• There is a mystery humidity sensor.
• There's 2 humidity sensors. One is on the pressure sensor, but they work differently.
• Andy was mistaken about the power.
  • It's not the power circuit. It's the fact that the system itself pulls too much juice.
• Battery fully charges around midday.
• The panel never directly powers the circuit. It only powers the charging circuit to charge the battery.
• Pressure and current sensor is connected to the I2C.
• GPS is used for having a lot of weather boxes set up, and you can tell which one/where the one we need is located. (Buoy Example)
  • “Drop a box, and be able to find it in a sea of other boxes”
• Kenny is gonna make a core program for us to play around with the hardware we have something to test out.
• By the end of the week, we'll have a program for the arduino that can access all the different sensors and see if they work.
• Start talking to the other teams for advice about the troubles that we are having
  • “Hey, were confused about this. Help?”
  • By asking questions, this takes care of the overlap among the teams.
  • Kennys always willing to help

• N/A

• Block Diagram
  • “If it gets too crowded, split it up.” -Kenny
  • Power side and signal side.
