So i manged to destroy the V5's pot whipper and i was wondering were to buy a new one.
I reckon it would be pretty hard to find a new pot. Maybe someone here knows the values of the pots on the V5 and can tune in.
IMO replacing the pot would be a huge hassle. A resistor or something would probably work better. (since pots are adjustable resistors)
Yes you can Bridge the pot and it will give you MX output only. Which is ~1.5A.
IIRC its the single pad and the top right pad.
You need a testload though to make sure the driver is not damaged.
Unless you want to risk a diode which is not a bright idea.
Look Up testload on the forum. You can make your own for a few bucks with local Radioshack parts.
However you also Can buy a new pot. But the Value i dont know Buts its a 2mm pot.

Here's a little tutorial I did a while back.
Maybe it will help.

I don't have any pots that small but i know it is a 1k pot usually 800 ohms. Can you look at my older post to see if that pot would work?
I finally got around to getting a vernier caliper and a Flexdrive together.
Dimensionally, the package size looks right.
I have not tested resistances or range of the stock pot, but that looks like it should work. :beer:
