Week 12 - April 12, 2017

• Submitted 496 Abstract to the EE assistant for use in the 496 pamplet/program thing.
  • Objective, Abstract, and Team Members

Parts order came in - yay. Time to test.

• BME280
  • Using the Adafruit testing code from their github with an Arduino Uno to verify how/that it works
    • Going to hook it up using I2C first then SPI
    • I2C wiring - Using an Arduino Uno and the test code compiles and works.
      • Reads Temperature/Pressure/Altitude/Humidity
    • SPI wiring - Using the same Arduino Uno the test code compiles and works
  • Dylan's code is to use with the whole board hooked up in the firmware of the whole box like the driver for the sensor to use in whole system
• ATmega1284P - DIP and TQFN packages.
  • Need to breadboard a DIP one to start testing its functionalities and differences between the 328P

• Rain sensor
  • We have a solar sensor and wind sensor. Why not rain sensor?
  • Look into creating a DIY version of rain sensor.
    • Leads that short when there is a conductor (rain water) present.
    • Helpful link maybe - http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Modules-Rain-Sensor/\

• SCEL's participation in CoE's Open House is canceled due to a “full program”
• April 29th, Final Presentation
