Potentiometer (Trimmer) component

Trim Pot for 0.1mm pitch PCB. With finger dial knob. Pointer colour can be changed from 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
