Gorillacell Module 032: Continuous Rotation Potentiometer
Table of Contents
The Infinite Rotation Potentiometer, also known as a Continuous Rotation Potentiometer, is a type of potentiometer that has no mechanical stoppers at either its minimum or maximum positions.
As the knob is rotated toward the maximum position, the resistance increases accordingly. Once it reaches the end of its range, a further rotation causes the resistance to wrap around back to the minimum value, and vice versa. This allows continuous, smooth adjustment without physical limits.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one Continuous Rotation Potentiometer module for experimenting with analog input control and variable adjustment applications.

PINOUT
It has 3 pins which are
- G - for the ground pin,
- V - for the supply voltage, and
- S - for determining the analog value of the Continuous Rotation Potentiometer module.
An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral will be used in order to determine the Continuous Rotation Potentiometer value.
