Weekly Progress Report - 3/20

Progress
This past week we made some more progress. On Thursday we found out why the voltage drops as it goes across the 1 MΩ Resistor on the breadboard. The right side of the breadboard must be shorted to the ground.

Problem
As previously mentioned, the right side of the breadboard is somehow shorted to the ground. We must figure out how it is shorted to the ground. In addition we need to change it so that it will not be shorted to the ground.

Plan
Figure out how the circuit is shorted to the ground. Change the layout so that it will no longer be shorted to the ground. Test the circuit with the improved layout.  See if the circuit functions properly. If not, continue searching for problems in the circuit.
