***Caution: When amplifying the voltage of a battery using an operational amplifier, you should be aware of potential risks. The amplification process can lead to a high current draw, essentially placing a significant load on the battery, which may result in overheating, damage, or even pose a security risk. To mitigate this risk, you may for example add a resistor in series with the battery.***

A voltage amplifier, as the name suggests, amplifies the voltage. A simple 2x amplifier can be built using e.g. two `10k` resistors. Connect one resistor between "minus" and GND. Then use the second resistor to connect the output and "minus" together. Any signal input at "plus" will now appear with double the amplitude at the output pin. Of course, the input signal and the Arduino board should share the same `GND`.
