     * Adding Datasheets and Presentation pages to project details     * Adding Datasheets and Presentation pages to project details
     * Changing 4th generation -> 5th generation     * Changing 4th generation -> 5th generation
 +  * Looking into different types of sensors to include to Guava
 +  * Going through our previous BOM, found that the pressure sensor (BMP180) has been
 +  * Started on PCB Schematic design
 +    * Schematic grid size is set to 50 mil. If space is needed, we can drop down to 10 mil or 5 mil only.
 +      * This will keep all our parts is uniform and in line when connecting
 +    * Use same grid size rules for board layout
 +  * DL-ed newest version of EAGLE (8.0) - to be all on the same software; to avoid unnecessary problems
  
 ==== Parts Ordering ==== ==== Parts Ordering ====
-  * Microprocessor - ATmega1284P ​[[http://​www.digikey.com/​product-detail/​en/​microchip-technology/​ATMEGA1284P-AUR/​ATMEGA1284P-AURCT-ND/​3440906|Digikey]]+  ​* Created BOM and Parts list spreadsheet - started adding the major components 
 +  * [[https://​docs.google.com/​spreadsheets/​d/​1EouViGZ5lS5UOof1N6PJVX-Rg2dfYi-Wc7bsWNOyhRg/​edit#​gid=0|Parts List Spreadsheet]]

 +    * [[http://​www.atmel.com/​devices/​atmega1284p.aspx|Atmel Website]] 
 +  * Pressure Sensor - BME 280 
 +    * Previous model (BMP 180) discontinued by vendor Adafruit 
 +  ​
  
  
 ==== Issues ===== ==== Issues =====
 +  * Charging Circuit 
 +    * Cranberry or Dragonfruit 
 +    * **Undecided - 470uF * 10 pieces to get the 4700uF ** 
 +  * Solar Panel 
 +    * Single or Double 
 +      * Barrel Jack Fittings are different 
 +    * **Decided single - Just need to find the fitting Barrel Jack Connector** 
 +  * 3.3V or 5V? 
 +    * Compatible Sensors - BME and the Pyranometer 
 +    * **Decided 3.3V** 
 +    * BME, Pyranometer,​ and ATmega are 3.3V compatible 
 +      * BME - Takes 3-5V and steps down to 3V on the chip using its own regulator 
 +      * Pyranometer - '​Should'​ take an input close to the output ~ 2.5V 
 +      * ATmega - Operating Voltage is 0-5V - at 3.3V the operating freq is 0-10Mhz. We can use a 8Mhz clock like Cranberry
  
 ===== Reminders ===== ===== Reminders =====
 +  * PDR is March 4th 
 +  * Do the passives on the parts order next week
