Hi everyone, I joined this forum to hopefully get some guidance on a project I have been working on.
I'm trying to either buy (or make if it doesn't exist) a controller of some type that controls a larger output wattage that changes based on the input signal from a lower wattage source:
I know absolutely nothing about electrical engineering, except for my research trying to solve this issue. So please be patient.
An example of the controller in use would be:
Setting the controller that if it detects 1 watt on the left, it draws 30 watts from the power supply for the output. If it detects 10 watts, it outputs 300 watts.
It would be great if I could fine tune the relationship between the two so if upon testing, I find I need 1 watt detected to equal 50 watts output while if it detects 5 watts it outputs 300 and anything pass 5 also equals 300 output.
I realize there will probably be some programming in here, but I hope there is a simple enough solution that even a simple liberal arts guy can do it =].
