#162622 - What VOut range do you want?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
It depends on what range of VOut you want. Most modern microcontroller systems would probably use and ADC that expects an input signal range of 0 to 5V (or whatever your VCC is). This means that a signal of -5V will be unacceptable. On the other hand, if your ADC accepts -5V to +5V, then you are fine.

The usual arrangement for handling bipolar signals with a unipolar ADC is to offset the signals by half the ADC span, which is 2.5V if you have a 5V span. The microcontroller needs to make the adjustment in the digital domain so that an input voltage of 2.5V is interpreted as a bipolar zero.

               Vout = V2 ?            01/01/70 00:00      
               I 'm entirly confused...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I explain it again            01/01/70 00:00      
                     So Vout = V2 - V1            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I do have a common GND            01/01/70 00:00      
                           So Vout = V2 -15 ?            01/01/70 00:00

                                             What VOut range do you want?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I think this will do the trick...            01/01/70 00:00
