    Force sensitive resistor controlling output voltage

    Ok, so something like (moderator action: removed link to external source)? The output voltage behaves necessarily as I sweep the value of the sensor... But this doesn't solve the issue of having too much voltage running through the sensor, right? And how do I fine-tune the response? Do I need a...

    Force sensitive resistor controlling output voltage

    damage to FSR: yes, that's possible... i couldn't find anything in the datasheet about it though cap on wiper: to reduce noise damage to pot: it won't always be at 100k... i will adjust it to regulate voltage coming in to FSR; when close to 0 resistance and an 18v source, the simulator gives me...

    Force sensitive resistor controlling output voltage

    Hello. I'm planning a project which aims to regulate an output voltage from 0 to +5V DC by using a force sensitive resistor. I posted about this a while ago, and some forum members helped me create a schematic. Now I'm back. This is for a musical implementation: I own an effect pedal which...

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Perhaps a L78L would be a better choice, given that it outputs 100mA vs. 1.5A of the L78?

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Forgot to mention that I'll be using MCP601 for this circuit.

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Alright. I'm going to follow **broken link removed**. It's identical to yours, I simply added LM7805 (hopefully I wired the ground connection correctly). I chose 100uF for the bulk capacitor at the supply pin and 10uF for the stabilizing capacitor at the non-inverting input.

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Thanks for that, Klaus! Just wondering if the capacitor on the non-inverting input is X7R or bulk? I'm also a bit confused by your offset variable resistor. You connected it to the inverting input instead of non-inverting input... Okay, that makes sense, I think. But it's also connected to the...

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Ok! How's it look? [At ibb . co / NFybFfV]?

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Ok. 1) Do I also need that configuration at the non-inverting input, like **broken link removed** (C1 and C5)? 2)I didn't add a 100nF cap to the non-inverting side. Do I need one there as well? 3) Where should I put the a bulk capacitor and what would be its value? Thanks!!

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Ok! Here it is. **broken link removed**. How did I do? Did I include all necessary capacitors, and in the right places? I wasn't sure where to place the "big bulk capacitor." Also I'm not sure I placed the adjustable offset resistor in the right place.

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    I partly recognized it. I know you are right, but to my newb eyes I can't reconcile some things. 1) The capacitor C1 is in the negative feedback loop connected to the sensor and Vout. You suggested I add a capacitor to the voltage divider at the non-inverting input. So the circuit would have...

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    My apologies, I should have mentioned that. I want Vout of the opamp to vary between 0v and +5v which will connect to a Control Voltage input of a synthesizer audio effect, which will then control a specific parameter depending on the effect (e.g. volume, speed of an LFO, cutoff frequency of a...

    Connecting pins to wires

    I found it under the category 'spring loaded connectors" on DigiKey. Maybe you mean this?

    Easiest way to get 5v and ~1V

    Hello. I am attempting to follow **broken link removed**. I want to keep things small and cheap. How should I go about getting 5V DC for Vsupply and -1V DC (or less) for Vref? I was hoping to do this from a 9V DC source, but I am open to other ideas. I looked at voltage regulators but am not...

    Connecting pins to wires

    Do you mean something like this? I don't know how that works.
