Articulated ARM : Sensors / Programming

[Andrew Schreiber]

Potentiometers for arms (with limited rotation) are usually best. Encoders are good for things that spin a lot.

Do you have any recommendations for Potentiometers ?

I didn't see any in the kit, I am assuming they aren't included.

Thanks

I would get a 10 turn potentiometer in or around the 10k range. Here is one example that my team used this year.

Also you will need to order a plastic sprocket and a fitting for the shaft of the potentiometer.
