Program Arduino Sensor for 10V DC Output

AI Thread Summary
To program a sensor for a 10V DC output using an Arduino, additional hardware is necessary since the Arduino only provides 5V. A 10V power supply is required, along with a switching mechanism controlled by the Arduino. Suggestions include using a 12V supply and an operational amplifier (op-amp) to achieve the desired output. Programming alone will not suffice to manipulate the voltage output. Proper hardware integration is essential for successful sensor operation.

Hey guys

I am trying to program a sensor using an arduino. The sensor is operational at 10V DC and an arduino only gives out like 5V. I wanted to know how can I manipulate it to output 10V.

Do I need some hardware or can I do it with just programming?

Thanx in advance!

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
