Design Team G Meeting Summary - 9 October 2015

Agenda:
Review design aspects

Plan design stages

Distribute design tasks

Distribute Midterm tasks

Begin assembling midterm paper

Discussion Topics:

Power supply design criteria

                (Regulating input voltage to 5V +/- 0.25V)

Dr. Bao can help us develop a custom, all-inclusive dev board

We can still plan on moving forward with using the BBB as the main dev board
