weatherbox:minutes_9_22_15

This is where the minutes go

What we learned

we are the only group currently using the arduino
The red thing is a boost converter that boosts 3.7V to 5V
Xbee runs at 3.3V
there is a separate reg that converts that
There is a mystery humidity sensor
there's 2 humidity sensors one on the pressure sensor but they work differently
Andy was mistaken about the power
its not the power circuit, its the fact that the system itself pulls too much juice
Battery fully charges around midday
the panel never directly powers the circuit only powering the charging circuit to charge the battery
pressure and current sensor is connected to the i2c,
GPS is used for having a lot of weather boxes set up, you can tell which one/where the one we need
The buoy example
“Drop a box, can find it in a sea of other boxes”
Kenny is gonna make a core program for us to play around with the hardware we have, something to test out
By the end of the week, well have a program for the arduino that can access all the different sensors and see if they work
Start talking to the other teams for advice about the troubles that we are having
“Hey, were confused about this. Help?”
Takes care of the overlap
Kennys always willing to help

Power side and signal side “if it gets too crowded, split it up” -Kenny one for power, one for signal
