Project Box & Pots for swap or sale

[Kookapeli]

Ok, I ordered a project box 130mm x 68mm x 44mm and is a little to small for my needs, I also ordered 3 10K pots by mistake. Make me an offer and + $2 shipping any where in the world or swap all for 3 100omh Pots and or FS mirrors (Only 1 Project box for sale, picture shown for reference)

10K pots, ouch. I got 1K pots myself, and they wont work for a Spiro

 

[Kookapeli]

tell me about it, just turn it a touch and kapow, stops it dead

 

[Meatball]

Lol then how about 5k?

 

[bennett326]

I get 25 ohm pots for my spiro

 

[Kookapeli]

The smallest I can get is 1K which is what I thought I got, looking around I need at the most a 100ohm, any ideas where I can get some that ship to the UK cheap ??

 

[GoolGaul]

can't you just parallel a fixed resistor with the pot to reduce the resistance of the pair?

 

[Kookapeli]

I could but not sure what value to get ?

 

[HaloBlu]

Really nice online resistor calculator for series & parallel.
Even gives the 2nd resistor required in parallel for a target resistance. Anyone know of other programs / calculators that do this?

 

[GoolGaul]

the only problem with adding a parallel resistor is that your paralleled pair can't ever = 0Ω... not a problem for a spiro.

 

[Kookapeli]

I've got switches for all three motors anyway so I can turn each one off individually

 

[GoolGaul]

not getting to 0Ω prevents a motor from going full speed, not preventing it from stopping.

Ahh yeah, of course, busy day at work, brain not working !!! guess i'll go with new pots then
