I'm down with the flu and can't for the life of me figure this simple equation out, may not even be a solvable problem.
Two resistors in a simple series voltage divider circuit.
Top (R1) is connected to +5V
Bottom (R2) is connected to GND
Center of the two resistors is Vout
Now, to complicate matters. Connected in parallel with the top resistor (R1) is a resistor that changes between one of two values, we'll call it Rx.
Rx is either 6,005 ohms or it's 3,551 ohms - always one of the two values.
R1 and R2 can each be of any value but once chosen must remain.
When Rx is 6,005 ohms Vout needs to be 1.2 volts
When Rx is 3,551 ohms Vout needs to be 2.6 volts
A set resistor of any value can be placed in series with Rx, ie if you add 1K to it then Rx becomes 7,005 ohms and 4,551 ohms respectably but that set resistor must remain the same value.
Maybe someone here can hit on it or maybe I'll feel better tomorrow and can think straightly again, right now everything's just a blur.
Can this be done and, if so, what would be the values of R1 and R2?
