• Soldered voltage divider to the solar irradiance sensor. Step down an input of 5V to 1.6667V
• Created Gantt Chart
• Learned (from Cranberry) how to check sensor readings, but need clarification from Nathan about polling.

• When connecting XBEE and FTDI the board creates a higher pitch sound (both in frequency and amplitude).
• Makes noise everytime it sends a packet.
• The 3.3 Voltage Regulator EN pin is controlled by the XB_EN, so you have to edit the software to set the voltage to high. If not, the voltage regulator steps the voltage down to 2.2 V instead of 3.3.

• Deploy by Thursday
• Check data sent from board
• Start researching new components. Look at GPS in SCEL and check if it matches specs of the board.
• Look into printing a xerox version of the circuit diagram
• Create an updated version of the board
  • updated circuit power connections to microcontroller
  • voltage dividers
  • GPS
  • real time clock
