Members present: Alex, Marvin, Roel, Kayla, Julie
  *Populated top half of the board
  *Will need to cut off excess plexiglass on sides of other boards
     *This was written by Kayla Valera (she was borrowing Marvin's computer and was logged in as Marvin when she wrote this)

==== Thursday March 3rd, 2022 ====
Members present: Alex, Marvin, Donovan, Juliana
  *Finished populating two Rev D2 board
       * one w/o RTC, SP215 header, large capacitor and battery clip
              * done for testing purposes
                    * wants to see if the capacitor affects charging circuit
                          * big capacitor does not affect charging circuit; when using power adapter LED indicates that charging circuit still works; do not know why there is small capacitor (10uF) parallel to the big capacitor (4700uF)
              * when uploading Visual Studio code, 'programmer is not responding'; suspecting defined board as 'ATMEGA1284' instead of 'ATMEGA1284P'; ATMEGA1284 was old batch of microprocessors, ATMEGA1284P is new batch
                    * 'P' stands for 'power'; ATMEGA1284P can operate at lower voltages than ATMEGA1284
                    * need to talk to firmware for help with changing microprocessor definition
                           * solved; refer to 'Guava Tutorial' document in Guava folder for solution (Thank you Giancarlo Portillo of Firmware)
       * one w/o RTC, SP215 header, and battery clip
              * needs programmer and XBEE headers to be added before testing; will continue on Wednesday
  * bootloaded both Rev D2 boards
