Pin Configuration

Component Documentation: 200E 3386P Trimpot (Pack of 5)
Overview
The 200E 3386P Trimpot is a single-turn, cermet trimmer potentiometer designed for precision applications. This documentation explains the pinout and connection details for the 200E 3386P Trimpot.
Pinout
The 200E 3386P Trimpot has three pins, which are explained below:
Pin 1: Counter Clockwise (CCW) Terminal
Function: Connects to the lowest resistance point of the potentiometer
Description: When the trimmer screw is turned fully counterclockwise, the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 3 is at its minimum value.
Pin 2: Wiper Terminal
Function: Connects to the movable wiper contact
Description: The wiper terminal is connected to the movable contact that slides along the resistive element when the trimmer screw is turned. This pin is used to tap the desired resistance value from the potentiometer.
Pin 3: Clockwise (CW) Terminal
Function: Connects to the highest resistance point of the potentiometer
Description: When the trimmer screw is turned fully clockwise, the resistance between Pin 3 and Pin 1 is at its maximum value.
Connection Structure
To connect the 200E 3386P Trimpot, follow these steps:
1. Pin 1 (CCW) to GND/VCC: Connect Pin 1 to a fixed voltage source (VCC) or ground (GND), depending on the application requirements. This connection establishes the reference point for the potentiometer.
2. Pin 2 (Wiper) to Signal Pin: Connect Pin 2 to the signal pin of the circuit that requires a variable resistance or voltage division. This connection allows the wiper to tap the desired resistance value from the potentiometer.
3. Pin 3 (CW) to VCC/GND: Connect Pin 3 to the same voltage source (VCC) or ground (GND) as Pin 1. This connection completes the circuit and establishes the maximum resistance point of the potentiometer.
Important Notes
When using the 200E 3386P Trimpot, ensure that the trimmer screw is turned gently and within the specified torque limits to avoid damaging the component.
The 200E 3386P Trimpot is designed for precision applications and should be handled with care to avoid mechanical damage or electrical noise.
Refer to the datasheet for specific electrical characteristics, such as resistance range, tolerance, and power rating, to ensure proper usage in your application.
By following this documentation, you can effectively connect and utilize the 200E 3386P Trimpot in your IoT projects.

Code Examples

Example 1: Analog Voltage Divider (Arduino)

In this example, we'll use the trimpot to create an analog voltage divider, allowing us to adjust the output voltage of a 5V supply.

```c++
const int trimpotPin = A0;  // Connect trimpot wiper to analog input A0
const int outputPin = 9;   // Connect output pin to an LED or a voltage meter

void setup() {
  pinMode(trimpotPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(outputPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int trimpotValue = analogRead(trimpotPin);
  int outputValue = map(trimpotValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  analogWrite(outputPin, outputValue);
  delay(10);
}
```

Example 2: Audio Volume Control (Raspberry Pi - Python)

In this example, we'll use the trimpot to control the audio volume of a Raspberry Pi.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import pygame

# Set up GPIO mode and trimpot pin
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
trimpot_pin = 18
GPIO.setup(trimpot_pin, GPIO.IN)

# Initialize pygame mixer
pygame.mixer.init()

while True:
    trimpot_value = GPIO.input(trimpot_pin)
    volume = trimpot_value / 1023.0  # Scale trimpot value to 0.0 - 1.0 range
    pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(volume)
```

Example 3: Sensor Signal Conditioning (ESP32 - MicroPython)

In this example, we'll use the trimpot to condition a sensor signal, such as a photodiode or thermistor, and read the output voltage using an ESP32.

```python
import machine

# Set up trimpot pin and ADC
trimpot_pin = machine.Pin(32)
adc = machine.ADC(trimpot_pin)

while True:
    sensor_value = adc.read_u16()  # Read 16-bit ADC value
    voltage = sensor_value / 65535.0  3.3  # Scale ADC value to voltage (0-3.3V range)
    print("Sensor voltage: {:.2f} V".format(voltage))
    machine.delay(50)
```

These examples demonstrate the versatility of the 200E 3386P Trimpot in various IoT applications.
