Hi,
I'm a complete beginner. I have a need to create a circuit that will take analog inputs and given certain conditions control an output analog device.
My inputs are a series of lights, numbers 1-25, each operating off 5-7V. If a certain combination of lights is active, I want to generate a signal to activate a stepper (analog device). For example, if lights 3, 4, and 5 are all active, I want to increment the stepper four times. If lights 11, 12, 13, and 14 are active, I want to increment the stepper 20 times, etc.
What's the easiest way to do this? I'm a computer program, but only have very basic knowledge of analog circuits, like I can measure voltage across a light socket.
Thanks for your time.
