* The transimpedance amplifier doesn't get the signal up to logic level, so we're using an analog input to read the signal. That's not as fast as amplifying the signal in hardware (which is what the new amplifier board does) and then reading it with a digital input. This will likely be your limiting factor.

* There's a potentiometer near the big chip next to the LED. Turning that to the right increases the brightness of the LED. If you turn it too far to the right, the LED will give you a bright flash and permanently die. Keep it to a half turn or less.
