| - | * Determined that the buzzing from the board is due to the voltage regulator | + | * Removed voltage regulator on board to see if the problem was a current draw problem |
| - | * Removed 3.3V regulator from board and soldered wires to the pads on the board | + | * 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 | ||
