Potentiometer (Slider) component

Analogue slider with plastic cap and 100mm travel. Cap and marker colour can be changed in component properties.

Note: The default Vref properties for AVR/Arduino is AREF. If there is no voltage being applied to the AREF pin, then you must change Vref option from AREF to AVCC

Component Pack

BASICIO

Detailed description
