Quick Overview
This DIYables 10K Ohm rotary potentiometer set includes 5 pieces with 15mm handles, perfect for Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi analog input projects. The 10K resistance value is ideal for voltage division and analog control applications.
Each potentiometer weighs 10g and features a standard 15mm handle for easy mounting and adjustment. Compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems, these potentiometers provide smooth analog voltage control for ADC inputs.
Ideal for volume control, brightness adjustment, motor speed control, sensor calibration, and any project requiring variable resistance. The 10K value works well with most microcontroller ADC configurations for precise analog readings.
