Can anybody suggest a small inexpensive pot for external use with a standard hobby servo? I'd like to use an external pot placed at a joint to control a remote servo. It appears that that the servo pots are of the 5k type, but the inexpensive 5k pots I see in Jameco and such seem to operate over a range of ~300 deg instead of a smaller range normal for the usual joint movement. To get a smaller operating range, would the lower range of a 10k pot work to cover a ~150 deg range? Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks!
