• Strangely, board 3 from last year works and transmits perfectly fine
  • possibly b/c it has not been powered on in a while
  • This board was showing major transmission issues last year
  • ==Try putting screws into through holes==
• Dylan wrote an arduino code to measure XBee voltage (watch for ghost voltage)
• Currently doing a life time test of board
  • will move on to doing life time tests while housed and with solar panel

• The board works fine, and we didn't do anything

• Test XBee transmission when in contact with metal and without
• Reprint housing bottom and Solar Panel holders (put holes in the screw places)
• Use diode to avoid power from XBee
  • Find an appropriate diode
  • Find out where MCU could be powering the XBee from
• Program Dragonfruit board 5
• Measure for shorts
  • Oscilloscope
  • Talk to Ohta about possible plane tunneling issues
• Figure out if repeated use damages/degrades the performance of the board
• Test board after replacing Charging Chip
• Find surface mount charging chip part (redesign board to use this part, may solve shorting issues)
• Finalize Eagle schematics of GPS and RTC
