+ | === Updates === | ||
+ | * Tested previously deployed Bumblebee with solar light in the lab | ||
+ | * Removed voltage regulator on board to see if the problem was a current draw problem | ||
+ | * Attempted to use a through hole voltage regulator with a higher current output | ||
+ | * Tested other board with solar light to see if that board also had a problem | ||
+ | * Noticed that second board's voltage from the solar charging chip would fluctuate when the board or panel would be moved | ||
+ | * Noticed the male barrel jack on the solar panel that was deployed was broken | ||
+ | * Tested board with new panel and there was no buzzing like there was on the deployed board | ||
+ | * Voltages on board with new panel stayed constant | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===To Do=== | ||
+ | * Test new board with new panel to see if it can send packets | ||
+ | * Replaced voltage regulator on first board | ||
+ | * Create a new housing for second board | ||
+ | * Deploy! | ||
