• Slain the spaghetti monster
  • Replaced wires to make our board easier on the eyes
  • Doing so somehow fixed our problem. Sending and receiving now works without errors running on 3.3V
• Able to send and receive packets from board to board
• Added 3rd xbee, using one to send packet, one to route, and one to receive
  • Tried to add 4th xbee had problems sending and receiving packets

• Updated gantt chart
  • Pushed back PCB design and fabrication due to changing focus on networking
  • Will attempt to finish schematic over spring break

• Xbee computer to computer
  • Router to coordinator worked
  • coordinator to router did not work (coordinator sent packet to itself)
  • router to router did not work
• Arduino to breadboard to computer
  • Arduino sends packet every 5 sec to breadboard
  • Breadboard receives packet, reads it, repackages, send to computer
  • Addresses of xbees are hard coded
  • Tested
    • Coordinator to router to router worked
    • Router to coordinator to router worked
    • Router to router to router worked
• When setting PAN ID, make sure to refresh everything in the networking tab
• Programming the arduino
  • Make sure correct arduino board is selected
  • Make sure correct port is selected
  • Make sure xbee shield is in Dline
• Programming the breadboard
  • Make sure arduino pro or pro mini is selected (the one used to bootload the atmega)
  • Make sure correct port is selected
  • Make sure Tx and Rx pins aren't connected to anything

• Make schematic for bumblebee box
• Range testing
  • “Goal is Bang → BAM” -Kaeo
  • Test “Bang → Boom then Boom → BAM” -Kaeo
  • Go through buildings and trees
• Start final paper
