About the motorized pots, they are a bit expensive and run it on a low power environment could be a bit tricky... I know that a servo isn't better than this, this was just a funny project. --- End quote --- They are available in soic and DIP as well. http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=MCP41010 |

Search "motorised rheostat" and you can find some very high-power ones, used in industrial control applications: http://www.micronor.com/products.php?product_id=248 |

True there are digital potentiometer chips...but this one also features several kV isolation :) |
