Where I get confused is when you say that with the 5K pot you have 800uAmps, but when you add in the padding resistors, doesn't that change the amperage running thru the resistors and pot? So how can you use the 800uA to find the padding resistor values? Thanks for your help averagesupernova and...
No it's not a homework question, it's a work question. We are adding an electronic control unit made by Rexroth to one of our machines. I haven't worked with ohms law too much, so I'm getting confused on how to size the padding resistors. If I use a 5k ohm pot, I'm stilled confused on how to...
Hello I have an Electronic control unit supplying +5volts and 15mA to a Potentiometer. The control unit needs to have padding resistors that need to be sized correctly so the output of the potentiometer is 0.5 volts to 4.5 volts. Can anyone help me figure out how to size the potentiometer and...
