/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/the-voltage-dividerIntroduction I just finished a course programming the TI LaunchPad, featuring the MSP340FR6989 micro controller. One of the lab projects involved a sliding potentiometer which turned a LED “on” or “off” depending on how far the arm on the pot wa...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/the-voltage-dividerWed, 10 Feb 2016 12:59:06 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:729c8644-901f-4049-b3fa-f6212864939ecpa040<p>Nice post, your description is well done!</p><p>keep in mind@most real applications: <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider#Loading_effect" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider#Loading_effect">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider#Loading_effect</a> </p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=21475&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/the-voltage-dividerFri, 27 Nov 2015 19:58:01 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:729c8644-901f-4049-b3fa-f6212864939eDAB1<p>Nice post and good description on how to use resistors for voltage adjustment while maintaining protection from shorting the output.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DAB</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=21475&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/the-voltage-dividerFri, 27 Nov 2015 01:00:57 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:729c8644-901f-4049-b3fa-f6212864939etonyboubady1<p>You mean Vout to P8.1? right? <span>[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-729c8644-901f-4049-b3fa-f6212864939e/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]</span>&nbsp; &lt;-- <strong>I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS STATEMENT...</strong></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=21475&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/the-voltage-dividerFri, 27 Nov 2015 00:53:38 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:729c8644-901f-4049-b3fa-f6212864939ejw07521<p>Hi Salvador,</p><p>This was an excellent presentation of your experiment and I like your hypothetical question, &quot;Why not half way&quot;? along with your proper analysis of the physics involved.
