10K Pot Potentiometer (Pack of 5)
The 10K Pot Potentiometer is a variable resistor component that consists of a rotating shaft connected to a resistive element. This component is commonly used in electronic circuits to divide voltage, adjust signal levels, and provide impedance matching. This pack of 5 potentiometers offers convenience and cost-effectiveness for projects that require multiple instances of this component.
| The 10K Pot Potentiometer is a three-terminal device that acts as a variable voltage divider. When the shaft is rotated, the resistance between the center terminal and the two outer terminals changes, allowing the user to adjust the output voltage. The component can be used in various applications, including |
Voltage division and signal attenuation
Impedance matching and buffering
Audio equipment, such as volume controls and tone controls
Sensor interfaces and signal conditioning
Test and measurement equipment

10K Pot Potentiometer - (Pack of 5) DocumentationOverviewThe 10K Pot Potentiometer is a versatile and widely used component in IoT projects. It is a type of variable resistor that allows for adjustment of the resistance value by rotating the shaft. This potentiometer has a total resistance of 10 k and is packaged in a set of 5, making it an excellent value for prototyping and development. In this documentation, we will provide an overview of the component, its specifications, and code examples to demonstrate its usage in various contexts.SpecificationsResistance: 10 k
Power rating: 0.5 W
Operating temperature: -20C to 70C
Rotation angle: 270
Shaft diameter: 6 mm
Package includes: 5 piecesPinoutThe 10K Pot Potentiometer has three pins:Pin 1: CCW (Counter-Clockwise) terminal
Pin 2: Wiper terminal
Pin 3: CW (Clockwise) terminalCode Examples### Example 1: Analog Voltage Divider with ArduinoIn this example, we will use the 10K Pot Potentiometer to create an analog voltage divider circuit with an Arduino board.Circuit DiagramConnect Pin 1 (CCW) to GND
Connect Pin 2 (Wiper) to Analog Input A0 on the Arduino board
Connect Pin 3 (CW) to VCC (5V)Code
```c
const int potPin = A0; // Analog input pin
int potValue = 0; // Variable to store the potentiometer valuevoid setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}void loop() {
potValue = analogRead(potPin);
int voltage = map(potValue, 0, 1023, 0, 5000); // Convert analog value to voltage (0-5V)
Serial.print("Voltage: ");
Serial.print(voltage);
Serial.println(" mV");
delay(50);
}
```
In this example, we use the `analogRead()` function to read the analog value from the potentiometer and map it to a voltage value between 0-5V. The resulting voltage value is then printed to the serial console.### Example 2: Simple Audio Volume Control with Raspberry PiIn this example, we will use the 10K Pot Potentiometer to control the volume of an audio output using a Raspberry Pi.Circuit DiagramConnect Pin 1 (CCW) to GND
Connect Pin 2 (Wiper) to GPIO pin 18 on the Raspberry Pi
Connect Pin 3 (CW) to VCC (3.3V)Code
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIOGPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP) # Set GPIO pin 18 as inputwhile True:
pot_value = GPIO.input(18)
volume = int((pot_value / 1023.0) 100) # Convert pot value to volume percentage
print("Volume: {}%".format(volume))
os.system("amixer -D pulse sset Master {}%".format(volume)) # Set audio volume
time.sleep(0.1)
```
In this example, we use the `RPi.GPIO` library to read the analog value from the potentiometer and convert it to a volume percentage. We then use the `os` library to set the audio volume using the `amixer` command.These examples demonstrate the versatility of the 10K Pot Potentiometer in various IoT projects. By adjusting the potentiometer's resistance value, you can control a wide range of applications, from simple voltage dividers to complex audio systems.
