pot sensor selection
does anyone recommend a pot sensor that i can use for a control module to know the exact position of a smaller control to control the robot. i saw it done a few years back where they have a small mockup of their bot and whenever itw as moved the real bot moved accordingly and i want to apply it to a testing module for another project. thanks guys

Re: pot sensor selection
What kind of pot are you looking for? (I mean I know you need 100kOhm for the RC/OI) Single Turn or Multi-Turn??
Pots This company has some nice ones that digikey sells. These might do it as well. DON"T BUY AUDIO POTS!!! (they aren't linear and will do strange things w/ the OI/RC) |

Re: pot sensor selection
We used these pots last year. They aren't that expensive either.
We got them from Radio Shack Part # 271-092 http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...tId=2062287&cp You will want to call ahead of time to see if they have any in stock. |

On the robot, try for 2.5 K or 5 K ohm pots, the RC reads those best. Don |
