[Commons-Lab-1]

Goal

Deploy 3 working TreeGuard units on saplings (private property) and begin collecting field data.

Prerequisites

• Breadboard prototype validated (Breadboard prototype: validate ATtiny1614 + capacitive sensor #1)
• Frame printed and test-fit (Print and test-fit first PETG frame on a nursery sapling #2)
• BOM parts received (Order BOM parts for 3 prototype units #3)

Steps

1. Assemble 3 complete units
2. Plant 3 saplings (or use existing young trees)
3. Deploy per docs/03-deployment-checklist.md
4. Set up 3 control saplings (no TreeGuard) for comparison
5. Log deployment data in data/field-logs/template.csv
6. Photograph each installation
7. Begin weekly check-ins

Acceptance

• 3 units deployed and functional
• 3 control trees identified
• Field log entries created
• Photos taken
• Weekly check-in calendar set
