* Experiment with amplifiers to see if we can increase the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). This should give us better results. Also, see if we can utilize use the Schmitt trigger's two threshold levels to have one act as a "qualification" and the other as the actual zero-crossing detector. | * Experiment with amplifiers to see if we can increase the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
