Deep in the bowels of the Digikey and Mouser databases, you’ll find the coolest component ever. Motorized linear potentiometers are a rare, exotic, and just plain neat input device most commonly found ...

For as long as we can remember, Windows has provided a mixer that breaks out the volume level of every applicable application into its own slider-controlled lane. But navigating to these controls is ...

ProSense linear potentiometers measure linear displacement by converting mechanical movement into a resistive output. These potentiometers can use a signal conditioner or 10 V DC supply to provide an ...

Today, potentiometers dominate the market for linear and rotary path and position sensing. That is not to say that there aren’t other position-measuring systems available on the market (see Table 1), ...

Small, resilient and easy to use, digital potentiometers are becoming widely accepted as replacements for mechanical potentiometers, especially in volume-control applications. In this type of audio ...
