Hi Steve,

We have a sensors E-Block which has a pot and a LDR built in as well as a connector to allow Vernier sensors to be plugged in.

If you simply need analogue pots then it may be easy for you to create this yourself.

Basically to create a 8-pot E-Block you would just need the 9 way D-Type connector, a bit of veroboard, a screw terminal so you can connect up the +V and your potentiometers. Then its just down to soldering the bits onto the veroboard and using wire to carry the signals from the pots to the pins of the D-Type.

If you have any problems let me know.
