2016-08-24 Review

  • Firmware difficult to test
  • No good housing solution for all generation of boxes
  • Battery life could be better
  • Costs could be reduced still
  • Lack of PCB mounting solution on cranberry
  • need cheaper PCB fab for later versions (OSH Park maybe? Look http://pcbshopper.com/)
  • Apple board power analysis not complete.

Missing Features

  • RTC and backup battery solution
  • Universal power switch for devices (external)
  • External reset switch (mounted externally)

In general, boxes cannot be put into an enclosure and then “forgotten” about.

Generation Specific

  • Apple needs to be re-worked for xbee software serial
