Potentiometers

What are Arduino potentiometers?

Arduino potentiometers are essential passive components in electrical circuits. We offer various types of potentiometers, such as precision potentiometer, multi-turn potentiometer or linear potentiometer. Accessories such as adjustment knobs are also available to make these items easier to use.

Division of potentiometers

Potentiometers are divided into several types, depending on their mode of operation and application. Linear potentiometers are the most commonly used, as they allow smooth adjustment of voltage values. Multi-turn potentiometers are components that allow precise voltage setting, while precision potentiometers are top-quality solutions that provide the highest accuracy.

Application of potentiometers

Potentiometers are used in many areas of electronics. They are used to regulate the voltage, which allows you to smoothly change the current in the circuit. As a result, they can be used, for example, to adjust the volume on audio devices, control the brightness of lights or adjust the speed of a motor.

Construction of the potentiometer

The construction of the potentiometer is relatively simple. It consists of three components: a slide, a resistor and a slider. The slide is connected to one end of the resistor, and the slide moves along the resistor, changing its value and thus the output voltage.

How to select potentiometers?

Choosing the right Arduino potentiometer depends primarily on the requirements of the circuit in question. It is important that the potentiometer has the correct resistance value, and that it is of the correct type. Audio devices often use logarithmic potentiometers to adjust the volume smoothly.

Advantages of using potentiometers

The use of potentiometers has many advantages. First of all they allow smooth voltage regulation, which is essential in many electronic circuits. In addition, they are simple to use and install, and come in a variety of designs to suit specific requirements.
