Exact informational video I was looking for. Recently got into electronics and building a lot of projects. One project is a benchtop power supply using an ATX. I'll be adding a cheap Chinese Up/Down converter, a Volt/Current Display and a pot to vary the voltage of a 12V connector. When ordering pots, now I understand what the "A" and "B" are referring to in the descriptions. Please consider this project for a video. Cheers
I think your restrictions will be more mechanical in nature - how do you plan on him interfacing with the speed control? I'm not sure how it's wired, but the potentiometer will definitely have to be hooked up to an isolating control circuit, I'm sure there are potentiometers big enough to directly handle the sort of loads that an electric go cart demands but I can't imagine them being small or cheap enough to be useful. So the potentiometer will have to control the circuit that controls the voltage (or however the motors are driven) to the gocart motors.
THANK YOU for posting this video. Your presentation was informative on a top tier level. Excellent clarity as well. Again, thanx from your latest subscriber!!! 》☆《
Can I solder a normal 100 kOhm resistor to a 100 kOhm multiturn potentiometer in order to get to 200 kOhm? Can't find a 200 kOhm multiturn potentiometer!
There's lots you didn't explain, like what does the center pin do. I don't see what it can possibly do. The outer pins conduct current. But it seems to me, that's all that's needed. The center pin isn't needed. And how do we use a volt-meter with these. When I tested the dial, I didn't observe any change in resistance (connecting the volt-meter to the outer pins).
It was mentioned about a minute into it, but perhaps the written tutorial would be better as it addresses this particular question almost immediately: www.circuitbread.com/tutorials/basics-of-potentiometers
@@CircuitBread lol, about as rare as unicorns, it had to be pointed out, but soon enough someone will come along and ruin it. Very educative video tho, thanks
Just preparing for an exam, thanks for helping me out. And One more thing, your hands could use some stability.. no offence but its really distracting( the shaky hands)
No problem and I agree the hand shakiness is annoying! Both watching and experiencing. Since this video we've learned to just do close-ups with my palm sitting on the table, much better that way.

The digital resistor was new & cool to me :)
Great explanation. It made me realize potentiometers are not as complex as I thought.

aree dhanyawad bhava (thanks bro)
Great channel sir and content-full video Thanks a lot
Is the logarithm mode the voltage driver mode?
Thanks a lot
very well explained ,(for a novice like me ) thankyou
You're welcome!
cool informational video :)
Would you mind making a vedio about, wiring potentiometer...many thanks. Sir.
What are you looking for in wiring a potentiometer?
Is it possible to control 3 LEDS with there own resistors in parallel simultaneously with a potentiometer. And if so how
My question im s what type of potentiometer do I use to control the speed on my son's electric 24v gocart?

Yep, you sure can! It just reduces your range but increases your resolution.
Sir potentiometer buy link plz
Depending on where you are, there are many places to get potentiometers. I recommend looking for a local electronics store if you just need a few.

The middle pin's like a short, i think he had 2 clips on the middle pin for the readings
Over 1 year on TH-cam and 0 dislikes, impressive
Ha! That *is* a statistical anomaly, isn't it? 😂

@@DasAntiNaziBroetchen rip, someone called your bluff :(
흥미롭네요
Thanks man!!
No problem, Shivam!
thank you!

i dont know if its me but, this video became out of focus
Can you give a timestamp of when you noticed that? Doing a quick scan through, it all looks in focus to me.
@@CircuitBread i think it was just an issue with my laptop... I had to reboot it..... I will check to see if it does it again...
