Potentiometers to the cRIO, what resistance?

[thefro526]

A 100K Pot should be 10x More sensitive than a 10K Pot.

With a 10K 10-Turn Pot you'd have a change of 2.77 Ohms per Degree where as a 100K 10-Turn Pot would have a change of 27.77 Ohms per Degree.

Then again, I'm no Electrical Engineer either.

Please just read the thread linked to earlier.

This is wrong. Please do not offer advice that you are unsure of, as it only confuses people.

I tried the old one tonight. It worked. I am using the AnalogModule Get Average function. I was getting a range of 46 to 969. Then the potentiometer broke.

Someone on this thread said it best, you get what you pay for.

Thanks for all your help.
