I have a Estlcam controller question

I see that potentiometers can be used and wondered about the sizes required.

Hi,

10k is fine.
(doesn’t matter much - anything between 1k and 100k will work)

Christian, what is the best way to wire a potentiometer in the circuit?
I am using the board shown below for my builds.

Hello,

best option in my opinion is to use a breadboard and an Arduino Nano.
Then you can just use jumper wires to connect everything and also add small circuits or filtering capacitors for the inputs to the breadboard.

No need for extra power supply to the Nano - it will work just fine with USB power.

Sorry Christian, you misunderstood my question, my bad.
I was asking for the circuit method of wiring a potentiometer, how to connect the pot for those functions.

Hello,

  • one outer leg to GND (no matter which one)
  • other outer leg to +5V
  • center leg to the input A6 or A7

Thank you Christian, I wasn’t sure so I thought I should check.
