  • Completed step 1 of Ron Ho Fund - College Purchasing
  • Started to research solar charging chip
  • Decided to implement the solar charging chip into our schematic rather than using just a header

Attended:Isaiah, Kayla, Rebecca

  • Submitted paragraph proposal to Jaimie
  • Meeting with Dr Kuh (Meeting Minutes)
    • Wants to have a little more data with xbee range testing (Rebecca)
    • Send Dr. Kuh slides of proposal presentation before presentation day
    • Talk to software team about networking issues
    • He may not be able to make it to proposals
    • Dr. Kuh goals for us
      • Build a functional board
      • Have our box to relay messages
        • Data packets most important part
        • Gather data from one end point to more central location
        • Data management when there are multiple boards
      • Networking modes
        • Sending data to different locations
        • One to many
        • Many to one
      • Get board working consistently
      • Recruit more people for our team to keep continuity
    • Calibration of device
      • line of sight, through walls, weather
      • understanding the actual range of the device

Fixes

  • Unable to program bare arduino
    • Took out reset button
    • Changed pull up resistor to reset pin from 1k to 10k
    • Connected RTS pin of FTDI in series with 0.1uF capacitor to reset pin of pic
    • Still only works once (Unable to program a second time)
