Hi all,
I realize that this is a really basic question, but I am trying to learn and I would appreciate any help from you. I've never done this before. I know the basics about analog DC circuits, but have never actually played around with them.
I am trying to position control a motor using DC voltage. I believe I can set the limits but the presets are -10 to 10 V. Anyways, I have 5V input voltage and a potentiometer hooked up.
The position of the linear potentiometer is supposed to match the voltage maxing out at -10V and 10V respectively. E.g., potentiometer all the way to the left -> motor goes to the left all the way.
Could someone point me into the right direction, maybe even with a link? It's hard for me to Google this since I don't even know what I am looking for.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Stephan
