This site provides a list of all the future improvements we would like to make for our BoSL baord. Let's separate this into immediate and future plans

Immediate Plans for our Next BoSL Board v0.4

1. Real Time Clock module [Done]
2. GPS antenna [Done]
3a. Battery connection moved to ensure that the plug sits over components and not hanging outside the board [Done]
3b. Ethernet connection moved to also ensure that the plug sits over the components instead of hanging outside the board (e.g. we could just turn it around by 180degrees) [Done]
4. Pin 2 & Pin 3: we will free these 2 pins for attachinterrupt by changing the current softwareserial to other available digital pins [Done]
5. Atmega chip - change to the smaller one which we used for sensors [Done]
6. Smaller screw terminals - still black in colour, but smaller footprint. [Done]
7. Passive antenna options for comms [Done]

Below are visualizations of the BoSL rev 0.4

Long term plans for our future BoSL boards

1. RS485 connector
2. ATmega chip change to ATmega 2560 which is the one being used on Arduino Mega --> this will give us more digital pins especially more pins for attach interrupt
3. Two versions - one version will be without having the pressure sensor on it
