Reply to "Recommendation for a Potentiometer with Stops (Detents)"

Consolidated LeoOGR Forum Member

I found this at Mouser. Digikey had them too but they don't stock them and they want you to order in batches of 1200. These are 79¢ apiece for a batch of ten.

It took a while to come up with one that just might work. The idea is to use one of these to feed into an analog pin of an Arduino that does an analog to digital conversion in the range 0-1023. With the detents, I should be able to have the feel of a rotary switch to yield 11 distinct value ranges.

I thought about a rotary switch with resistors wired in but this should be much easier. I remember that my Dad had a health-kit volt ohm meter that he put together once and it was like that; one big rotary switch.

Thanks for the ideas! -- Leo
