Hey guys, new here and thank god I found this forum!
So!, I found an old thread from 2013 that has pretty much solved the same issue I've been having of late (am only a beginner when it comes to circuits and their components)
Thread located here:
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/...ative-signal-into-positive-signal.8030/page-1
So I need to convert a ground output from my cars ECU to a 5v input to a coil igniter. The attached circuit works apparently, though it is for 12v, I need to basically know what resistors etc I need to make it work for 5v? The 5v source I will be running from 12v through a 5v regulator to get it to 5v (unless you can recommend a better way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys! An easy job for you gurus
Thanks in advance
