Hi humans :D (I`ve just registered and the machine had at least 3 ways to be sure that this guy was an human, so you are humans also certainly ;D)
After a lot of effort to find a 10K \$\Omega\$ sliding pot capable of handling 2w for my project of a tig welding foot controler without any positive result, i trust this community to clarify me: Are the 10K W sliding pots more rare than unicorns or my search for one of this things has been badly done? |O
Anyone has a reference, or a source for this kind of pot?
The other option to build the foot controler is with a rotary pot actuated by a mecanical way to transform linear motion in rotational movement, i`d like to find a more natural way to go from almost no resistance to the 10k \$\Omega\$, and a sliding pot is as close to that dream as it gets...
Any help will be welcome :-+
