The Myelin Board: The Successor to OpenBCI's Cyton

Electronics
As OpenBCI moves on with the launch of their Galea platform, the Cyton is in need of revision.
The Myelin board is intended to be said successor, aiming to enable non-invasive neuroscience research at an affordable price, with additional upgrades.

What inspired you to make this project?
My colleagues at work were the initial inspiration. The Cyton needed an update, so we decided to give it an upgrade too!

What are some of the challenges you have encountered and how did you address them?
I began my project rather last minute, only the beginning of September, and on top of this, knew I'd be on vacation for 10 days, getting back the week of the faire. Time was precious. The last two days before vacation I had a collective 6 hours of sleep, working from not long after I got home from my day job, until 6am both days. Moreover, there were some PCB design techniques that I employed which were new to me.
