Hello everyone...again I find myself requiring a bit of assistance:
I need to increase the output voltage of a circuit I'm using so that it can run a group of LED's.
I'll try to simplify it as much I can: I'm using an IR sensor that produces a V-out of around +/- .03V. I'm trying to use that signal to trigger and run a group of LED's, so far I'm looking at around 10-15 LED's. I'm aware that I'll need around 2V to run each LED so I'm looking at around 20-30V to be produced.
So my question is this: How can I increase the V-out of my IR sensor to produce that much juice? Aside from getting a different sensor, I was advised to used OP-Amps and to build a Step Up circuit, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get a tutorial to build said circuits.
Thanks in advance!
P.S: Also....I would like to know if anyone knows of a reputable site in which I can buy Solenoids from....Thanks again!
