Just Google the phrase "voltage regulator" and start reading. You will be amazed at what you find.

78xx series regulators are almost as simple as using zener diodes. They come in handy when you need a 5 volt signal voltage, but your controller can only operate at 6-24 volts, not that this is really an issue that we face often, since the digital sidecar does all the voltage regulation itself.
