Many times you make simple op-amp comparator circuit, but output starts jumping up and down like anything near the triggering point just because of small electrical noise. Relay and microcontroller will get totally confused with this nonsense. Only proper solution is adding positive feedback to make it a Schmitt trigger. But doing paper maths for […]
