Directly from part of an assignment in my microcontrollers class: "...implement a voltage-divider circuit using 4 resisters [sic] (all with the same resistance) in series between +5V and ground. This circuit wil provide nodes with voltage levels of 3.75 V, 2.5 V, and 1.25 V..."
How is this even possible?? 3.75 + 2.5 + 1.25 is two and a half volts more than 5, not to mention 4 resistors of equal resistance in series will all have the same voltage... I only need to use the lower two anyway so I'd probably be better off ignoring this spec and building my own circuit.
