Hey guys,

I need to find out how to convert an analog voltage that is negative to a positive voltage. For example a -1.87V to 1.87V.

Thanks guys. Really appreaciate it.

An inverting opamp with the input resistor the same value as the negative feedback resistor, and positive and negative supplies.

Thanks Audio guru your a great help  ;D,

Was wondering is there an alternative method instead of using another OP-AMP.

Opamps are inexpensive, small and work very well.
A single transistor has a 0.65V offset voltage that would need adjustment to reduce, and it changes with temperature change.
You could use a two-transistor differential amplifier as an inverter. It is the input stage of an opamp.
