Video – Capacitor Charging Issues – PLC Controls 4

In part 4 of our journey to the world’s Best Backyard Coaster, we encountered some issues with our capacitors. They are not charging evenly. So in order to get an accurate voltage rating of the bank, we will need to measure a peak voltage of 170 on a 0-10V scale. We also need to read voltages that have different ground potentials.

Using op amps and voltage dividers will help us solve these issues.
