Re: String Pot: Good, Bad or Mixed Bag?
I had a dream about a low cost string pot last year. I didn't do anything with it, maybe somebody else will want to. I wanted to use a string pot for our lift mechanism, but I was running into all of the problems already mentioned, (cost, size, etc), then I looked at the little retractor thing that my work ID is hooked to. Wouldn't it be neat if someone would drill a 1/4" hole in the plastic case of one of these and glue the shaft of a pot or encoder to the inside part of this little retractor thing?

Hmmm

I'm sure its not as easy as that, but it is interesting.
