Re: Potentiometer

And I didn't think of using it on a idler or a sprocket. Can't wait to try that out on the next bot :-)

One more thing. I was expecting the output voltage to be linear (constant angle/voltage) but we found that not be remotely true.the first 40 degrees give us roughly a change of .3 volts but the next 45 degrees gives us a change of 1.7 volts. Is this normal?

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
