I would like to attach a Firgelli Automations Linear Potentiometer 10-Inch to an application then be able to hook up a LED light bar to the potentiometer to show where in the stroke the Potentiometer is. Can someone help with this?
Thanks
Hello @genelg
Since the feedback for the linear actuator is well… linear throughout it’s course, you could divide the full range of data it outputs by the numbers of bar in your LED light bar then light up a LED segment for each “step”
Ok, so i have an Actuonix Position Indicator that i would like to connect to this potentiometer. Can you tell me how to connect them? Where does the power go? To the Potentiometer? or the Position indicator? or both?
There is a connection reference in the datasheet of the product: https://www.robotshop.com/media/files/pdf/datasheet-indicator.pdf
I hope this helps you!
