ok, well we tried an experiment altering a voltage signal by using a potentiometer and while we succeeded in having an effect similar to our hypothesis, it was in fact the exact opposite reaction we were expecting.
It is now apparent that to achieve the desired effect, we need to take the signal voltage, and boost it by an extremely small amount.
Many of the boosters i've run into trying to figure all this out, are to make like 3 volts 12 or whatever, multiplying the voltage by factors of 2-4. I need like to multiply it by a factor of like 1.05 or 1.1
the voltage signal we are trying to modify varies from .1v-1v, and fluctuates between a high and low point. The device monitoring the voltage then averages the high and low point to make an average center point.
We are trying to skew the input being received by the device so that the center point (as perceived by the device) will be slightly higher than it would be reading the original signal, while preserving the scale of the low and high points.
As stated, when we reduced the signal voltage, the center point slid down the scale.
How can I do this?? Ima NOOB!
HELLLLLLP!
