Gorillacell Module 033: Slider Potentiometer

Table of Contents

The Slider Potentiometer is another type of potentiometer, designed in a linear slider form factor instead of a rotary knob. It adjusts resistance by moving the slider along a straight path, making it ideal for applications that require precise linear control, such as audio mixers or user input interfaces.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one Slider Potentiometer module for experimenting with analog input control and smooth variable adjustments.

Input Sensor Cell Analog - -

PINOUT

It has 3 pins which are

  1. G - for the ground pin,
  2. V - for the supply voltage, and
  3. S - for determining the analog value of the Slider Switch module.
