Final Notes

  • Debugging:
    • We don't know if the PCB-built-weatherbox transmits
    • Have to make sure the polarities of the capacitors are soldered correctly on PCB
  • Make housing more symmetrical by changing PCB design (currently the main housing box is off center of the solar panel)
  • Add housing space for solar irradiance sensor
  • Work on implementing health check features
    • Don't collect data at night
    • Turn off the XBee when not data to transmit
    • When low battery or part isn't sending data, send error packet
  • Debugged PCB
    • Made sure all the breakout units on the PCB are getting the power
    • Have yet to test out the PCB with the code
  • Solar charging chip is now able to charge the battery
  • With the help from Andrew, we have tested the code on the PCB, Weatherbox is now working and collecting correct and expected data
