Potentiometers - How They Work, Disassembly and Exploration


www.planetz.com . In this video, I disassemble a couple different pots (Bourns and CTS 500k audio taper) to show how they're constructed, and explain how they work. I also show how to identify pot values and taper by their markings and by measuring with a multimeter. Like this video? Please consider making a donation (of any amount) at www.planetz.com

What is a Potentiometer?


A potentiometer is a variable resistor that slows down the amount of electricity that flows through it. A potentiometer or pot can be thought of as a water valve but for electricity. To learn more about electronics components see my other videos or visit filear.com

How-To Tuesday: Arduino 101 potentiometers and servos


Check out makershed.com for a complete line of Arduino products. This is the 3rd installment of my Aduino How-To Tuesdays. This week I am going to cover using another basic part, the potentiometer. I will also cover connecting a servo to the Arduino. Servos can be hard to control, but not with the Arduino! That's just another reason why I love this little micro-controller.

Guitar Potentiometers part 2, Comparing Linear/Audio Taper and Selecting Pots


www.planetz.com . In this video, I demonstrate the sound differences between Linear and Audio taper pots, and compare audio tapers in Alpha, Bourns and CTS pots. I then review the other factors you need to consider when buying pots: tolerances, dimensions, split shaft versus solid shaft, etc. In part 3, I'll cover how to enlarge the holes in a semi-hollow body to fit the new 3/8" shaft pots. Audio examples recorded through my Vox VT30 amp and a high quality Rode NT1 mic.

Guitar Potentiometers part 5, Comparing Tone Pot Tapers


www.planetz.com . In this quick video, I compare linear taper 500k and log/audio 500k taper pots for use as a tone control. The pickup is wired to the jack, with the pot/cap in parallel, just like a normal guitar circuit (but without the volume pots). I'm using an Orange Drop .022uF, and the two pots are Bourns A500K and Philmore B500k. Audio examples recorded through my Vox VT30 amp and a high quality Rode NT1 mic. Please see my other potentiometer videos for more detailed background info on potentiometer construction, operation and tapers.

Arduino + Stepper + Potentiometer


I took apart my old Brothers MFC 420CN Print / Scan / Fax machine. Found a PM35s048 stepper motor. The data sheet shows it as having 48 steps (7.5 degree). I just hooked it up with the following: Yellow = Digital 4 Orange = Digital 5 Red = Digital 6 Black = Digital 7 I modified the example code for a stepper motor (MotorKnob) to have the required 48 steps and increased the speed a bit. As well I mapped the potentiometer values to 0-48 instead of using the default 0-1023. Makes for a single rotation and a lot less noise. Source Code: www.linux.com

Guitar Potentiometers part 3, Enlarging the Holes in Semi Hollow Body Top


www.planetz.com . Typical guitar pots have a 3/8" threaded shaft. But import guitars often use pots with 8mm (~5/16") shafts. So to replace the pots, you need to enlarge the holes. In this video, I demonstrate how to cleanly drill the holes for the pots in a semi-hollow body guitar. Coming up next will be wiring and soldering.

www.planetz.com . In this video I demonstrate how to modify a guitar tone potentiometer to be "no load", for true bypass. The change in sound is subtle, as you'll hear, but it's worthwhile.

Guitar Potentiometers: Why change them?


www.planetz.com . I've read stories of people saying how their guitar sound miraculously better after just changing to a different brand f pots. Are they just imagining it? Here, I compare new CTS and Bourns pots with the original Epiphone pots (Alphas and JS). I also talk about pots in general and the reasons why you might want to change them. Audio examples recorded through my Vox VT30 amp and a high quality Rode NT1 mic. See part 2, www.youtube.com where I evaluate the tapers, and talk about the other factors to consider when buying new pots. In an upcoming video, I'll cover how to actually replace the pots, wire them up, and re-drill the holes in a semi-hollow body. Like this video?

Fabric Potentiometer (update)


Update: Using some wire wrapped around the central popper to make contact with the resistive ring (circular potentiometer). Unfortunately (though cool too) the Eexonyx fabric is pressure sensitive, thus its resistance varies also on the pressure applied, not only due to the position of contact. Plus the contact between the wire and Eeonyx is not stable enough. But this is a design issue that can be solved:-) (Music: Small Fires by Karate)

touchless potentiometer using CNY70 sensor and VACTROLS test video


Three terminal potentiometer, it has 2 terminals and a wiper, when the distance beetween a reflective surface and a CNY70 distance measuring sensor is varied the resistance between wiper and the other 2 terminals changes, if used in audio, the signal path is always clean and the potentiometer never wears out, theres no noticeable latency between the action and the resistance change. VACTROLS used are the CL8604,, but i guess Homemade VACTROLS (led/ldr unit) can be used.

ME-DIGITAL POTENTIOMETER BOARD


ME-DIGITAL POTENTIOMETER BOARD To extend the capabilities of their debug boards, many manufacturers offer additional peripheral device modules. Many of such modules that significantly simplify the development process are produced by mikroElectronika. ME is a digital potentiometer board based on the MCP41010 microchip. MCP41010 is a single-channel 8-bit digital potentiometer with 256 control steps and a standard serial peripheral interface. Its impedance is 10 kOhm. The board is connected to the main board with a 10-pin connector. Depending on the microcontroller type at hand, turn on the relevant switches. For instance, for an EasyAVR5A board, the third and the sixth switches need to be turned on. The board is connected to the device under test with a labeled terminal block. Other features of the digital potentiometer board are the availability of a register for saving rated values and an off command to decrease power consumption. Digital potentiometers are widely used in audio equipment (volume and tone control devices), in servodrive controllers, battery chargers and many other devices.

Arduino to micro SD card interface through breadboard logging potentiometer analog input data


A video of an Arduino Duemilanove connected to an microSD card adapter in a breadboard with 9 resistors (for voltage shifting) and potentiometer resulting in an analog datalogger. I had a Sparkfun.com microSD shield but it did not work (as it did not do the proper voltage shifting). I had to make my own microSD card interface from an SD adapter and some resistors to get it to work. This is a video of the result.
