Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me with this.
I have a Hall effect sensor and supply 6 volts to it of which I cannot change. The sensors range is between 0.5v when the magnet is placed away from it and 6v when a magnet is placed near it. So if works as a potentiometer but no moving parts.
I want to be able to limit the voltage given from it to just 1.5v. What components would I need to put after it in order to limit the voltage from 6v to 1.5v anything below the 1.5 cannot be reduced (it still needs to show 0.5v - 1.5v exactly the same as before) so I effectively need to somehow limit it.
I thought about a voltage regulator circuit but figured this would affect voltage being linear from 0.5v to 1.5 ....
If I reduce the 6v incoming voltage I no longer get the 0.5 that is required so that is not an option.
Thanks very much in advance!
David.
