several months ago I asked a question about bipolar A/D inputs....say,
-5v to +5v.  Someone suggested something using just a couple of
resistors to use as a voltage divider.  Could anyone say that again?
All of my messages were deleted....

does this look like anything close to being right?

                              < R2
                              |

                where r1 = r2

reminder...I know this is a simple, simple question, but I remind you
I've never had an electronics class in my life.  I much better on the
digital end than on the analog...
