Re: Using sensors

potentiometers (aka pots) can be used to measure how far your rotating device, whatever it is, has swiveled
very useful to create coded limits so that an arm doesn't overextend or swivel to far, which strains or snaps wires
also useful to know exactly how fast something is rotating
