Hi, I've been lurking around this list for a while now and its turned out to
be an invaluable source of information. I feel the time has come to ask my
first question though.

I have no EE background so apologies for any incorrect terminology I may
use. My project involves using a PIC to read pulses from a high voltage
source, a car's injector pulse signal. I'm not happy at all with the way I'm
currently reducing the pulses to 5V, using a zener diode and a potential
divider.

I know there must be a much better way to do this and would be eternally
grateful if someone could offer me a better solution, it would be fantastic
if I could come up with something capable of handling a wide range of
voltages for the pulse. e.g.. 2V to 60V. Keep it simple though or I'll never
understand!


Many thanks,
Graham
