Hi all,
I've used the search to find the answer to my question, how can I output up to 5v with e.g teensy 3.2. The answers I found were for the most part to fix the problem of e.g. driving a motor that needs 5v as input voltage. From what I understand you could use a boost converter for that (it will boost the 3.3v to 5v.). Example https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-Boos...576196?hash=item33b34e2984:g:s6UAAOSwjVVVwi5p
What I need is an output voltage range of 0-5v instead of a range from 0-3.3v. Is this what the boost converter would do as well? Or will it always try to boost the input up to 5v?
I know how to step down voltages with a circuit, but have never stepped up the voltage range. I am trying to build a simpe circuit that can be used in modular synths, focused on pitch control. Those synths usually expect a voltage between 0-5v for the full pitch/note range.
Thanks in advance for any tips or guidance!
