Week 11 - Wireless Communications

In this week's meeting (11/8/17), we opened up our new XBee modules that came in, labeled them, and then proceeded to try to get them communicating with each other. The whole process with using the mobile app to purchase tickets hasn't been successful and we're not sure if it's because of faulty communications or the possibility that the podcar can't locate itself to know which station to go to. Therefore, we are trying to make sure each piece in the puzzle isworking correctly.

We were able to send basic signals between the two modules, however nothing legible. But that proved that the XBees were at least communicating during the ticket purchasing process.

We also met a new friend, Jeremy, who is a Computer Engineering student and he is volunteering to help us out with some of the mobile app material (javascript, node.js, etc.).
