Re: Potentiometer 5 or 6 detents

What are you trying to use it for? You might want to be careful if you're using a pot for anything relatively large, it may be hard to calibrate and to prevent from breaking. We attempted to put a pot on a rotation table to limit it's rotation to 180 degrees at one point, but a faulty autonomous program would have none of that! You may want to consider using rotary encoders or some other means of measurement.
