Re: Tuning PID Code

To our surpise, these pots are 120K ohms, can we still use them for the PID trimming board? Seems to me that if they were used for the KOP joystick, there is no reason why they would pose a threat.
Thanks for your help, I just want to make sure because that OI is mighty expensive to repair/replace if we blew it...  |
Anything above ~5K ohms will work well.
