Bob, All,
I seem to remember from my analog computer class (yeh, I'm that old) that
you can divide using an op amp. Can anyone point me a circuit which does
this? Thanks. One of my students built an AoA indicator a couple of years
ago with a cheap differential pressure chip, but he brought the signal out
and into a digital computer that we already had installed on the airplane
for storing flight data. He then divided it by the dynamic pressure using
software. It worked great. I thought it would be fun to see how simple it
could be done using analog circuits. These pressure measuring chips are just
a couple of dollars and you would need two of them. One differential for the
angle and one absolute pressure chip for the dynamic pressure.
