Logarithmic Pots
« on: March 10, 2014, 04:56:42 am »
I was curious about what the general consensus was on logarithmic potentiometers as compared to other types for current and voltage setting. They seem to be under-discussed as most just want a good ten-tuen pot.

How about a hybrid? Log for course, 10 turn for fine. It's not like I need that much first-turn precision when dealing with higher voltages.
