Hi
I want to measure (photo)flash durations. I know my way around software (also read most fast logging threads here) , but my hardware knowledge is very very little.
I have a question how to adapt a circuit from 5V to 3.3V :

I would only use the right hand side of the schematic and would like to log at about 200K/s. The D7 would be a analog input port on the Teensy.
Is it Ok to just change the supply at right to 3.3V?
Is it useful to add a buffer capacitor on the measuring side (between "D7" and ground) and if yes, what value is suggested?
I also read that a BPX65 photodiode is used instead of a SFH 203, any useful difference? I didn't see one inside the datasheets.
I would like to assemble it on a breadboard with a Teensy 3.6.
