Also what I did not like in your desigh is 4.7K resistor. which changes reading in (...) (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | hi Nitin, I'm an energy freak to, but I can't follow your reasoning Because I'm building a multiplexer too (probably will be posted next week, so I can make still some changes) and I'm using even lower resistor values then Michael (due to a (...)

| | | | Hi Stef, sorry for little late. What I am doing is that I need to get the voltahge down and most efficient way of doing that without losing swing ( if you divide you lose swing too) is level shift it and you can do it by putting by Zener.
