Hi, I'm new in the forum, my english isn't so good but i hope that you understand.
Here's the problem:
I have a Digilent Nexys2 FPGA, and i'm in a project that is about a XY positioner, and for that project, i have to read from 4 sensors, 1x CNY70 (IR sensor), 2x Ultrasonic sensors and another one that we don't have yet.
Here's the specs for ultrasonic sensor:
"world wide web".robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/srf05tech.htm
So, ultrasonic sensor gives me a 5v signal that i have to read through the FPGA, and there's the problem, FPGA works with 3.3v, so...
Does anyone knows a circuit or something that let me work with my ultrasonic sensor with no problems?
A friend told me about "buffers" but i don't have much idea, any suggestions, any circuit that helps?
Thanks for reading.
