Logbook 7/24

We met on friday to begin buildling the filtering circuit for the brainwaves. This circuit has been a bottleneck in our progress because it is behind schedule, and nothing else can be done until we have it at least half-working! We met in Mario's lab and brought out the schematics, Mario has many resistors and it was a pain digging to find the right one.
Mario plans on finishing it monday afternoon and handing it over to me by the evening. On tuesday I want to run some tests on it.

We did order a new opamp chip more similar to the one they use on instructables, where we got our schematic. This one is dual supply, so we should be able to get the negative swing of the signal.  Because we have to use the instrumental amplifier first, which MUST be done using negative and positive voltage, we figure itd be best to just make the second opamp be the same. Otherwise, with biasing and all, it may be a mess.
