Help with variable dc voltage controling a potentiometer
Hi, my first post as well. Not even sure this is the correct place to post this. sorry if not.
I'm trying to build a renewable resource lab using small DC motors and small solar panels for a input voltage I'm thinking will be .5V to maybe 2V output maybe. My question is: is there a way I can build a device that takes the output of the students generators and control the variable output of a 3V battery display? So depending on the power generated the output (lights or a meter) will vary too? I think this will help the kid understand the concepts but make it much more exciting.
