DIY Spinner using common Potentiometer?

<< < (2/5) > >>

tx2000:
On the topic of spinners should i play spinners games with a trackball or use a real spinner.  I dont have any of those but considering one not both

paigeoliver:
If you can only have one then you want the trackball.

tx2000:
Ok thanks

Holy crap! Good to see you posting Paige (",)

lilshawn:
be aware, a cheapish pot by any manufacturer is only rated for ~3000 cycles before it starts going out of specification.

please people also note, most monitor adjustment pots are rated for 200 cycles. Quit farting around with them.

A high quality pot designed for heavy use (500k to 2m cycles that use cement and wirewound resistive wire instead of a printed resistive element.) would likely meet or even exceed the parts cost for a decent optical setup.
