Re: Limitless Potentiometers

Hi

Team1629 uses this pot from Mouser.com (My favorite parts vendor)

http://www.mouser.com/search/refine....594-357-00-502

Datasheet here:

At $15 it's not cheap, but it gave us position feedback on our 2007 arm position all season and several off-season competions with no problems.

Phil.
