If the glue doesn't hold - I've included holes to screw the holder directly into the arm. The potentiometer holder still gets directly glued to head unit arm. This one turned into a 5,000 Ω.Ĭontrol Center - found these cute joysticks for control - nice wiring. Tried a second time using tape to cover the small hole - it's still a fail!Īlso See the not so nice tilt on the gear - these small pot's are easily damaged. Potentiometer + hot glue = wheel doesn't turn Hot melt glue got inside the wheel while gluing on the gear - there's a small hole in the wheel and hot glue flows nicely into it as you press the gear on. Seeing full range of analog values with this 1:10 setup - but this small 10,000 Ω B103 is a fail! Inside gear and smaller B103 wheel potentiometer The top bracket ended up being too flexible and the gears don't stay connected - fail! I tried to work out how much gear was needed. Lets try to get more range out of our analog potentiometer This 1:10 ratio is going to work great for pan control! Love first print designs that are 95% working!

I did a few quick test prints to workout the smallest gear teeth that would printout correctly. On to Pan Control - what kind of analog potentiometers have multiple rotations - I want to stick with analog as I don't want to count pulses or worry about location on startup - hey these cheap 10-turn rotating ones might do it! Hope the gear size for 1:10 can be worked out. Hot glued the potentiometer directly to the head So this first test works! Get a range of about 100 analog readings for the 30 degrees of tilt.
