I'm a network engineer, and know virtually no basic electronics. However, I need to make a small circuit for a piece of kit I'm modifying, and I could use some advice!
I have a direction sensitive output from an accelreometer, so that 0g is indicatd by 4v output, 1g leftwards is indicated by 0v output, and 1g right is indicated by 8v.
I want to be able to take that voltage and convert it so that I get a left 0-1g output of 0-4v on one wire, and a right 0-1g output of 0-4v on another wire.
I guess what I need may be called a comparator, though I'm not sure, or it may be a kind of op-amp. Problem is, without having a name for it, I can't google it
Can anyone put a name to the kind of circuit I'm describing, and maybe provide a circuit diagram
Thanks
Jim
