Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] position sensor & display


Nice job Alan!  What did you use to seal the acrylic to the potentiometer?  What is the back of the potentiometer (white part) made of?  Great to see this project finally come to life.

The schematic came out too small to read when it was resized.  If you can send me the photo I'll convert it to PDF so it can be downloaded in a readable format.

Hi all,
Have just up loaded some pictures of my position sensor & display.
This unit differs slightly from the LED circuit that Jens made up & posted a video of,
in that it has a trim pot that can be adjusted to display any range of movement up to
the full 360 degrees. This was made up for me by a guy who has worked on nuclear subs in the UK.
He even printed out the circuit board for me. There is a schematic if anyone is interested in making
them up. The magnetic potentiometers came from digikey.
