- eFish_Finder_V1.0B_20190920.zip
Contains the same set of files as in eFish_Finder_V1.0B-20190920.zip for an alternative version of the circuit board in which resistor R1 is replaced with a jumper (J1) for resistor insertion. This alternative design permits the user to remove and add resistors to vary the gain of the bio-amplifier. This may be helpful in special circumsances: e.g. use in water with very high conductivity.
