| | Re: Logic level conversion
|
| To convert from 0-3 to 0-5 I would suspect that all you need is a 2N2222 NPN transistor with a couple of resistors to bias it. For example: +5volts 100 ohm resistor collector ---...---0-5 input 0-3v output -----1k resistor ----- base emitter 0volts (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

As you move away from the center frequency, detection drops off sharply. Are you able to confirm the modulation (...) (26 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
