Internal potentiometers for rates and expo

[leccyflyer]

I'm about to start the conversion to 2.4ghz of a couple of Macgregor Digimac III and IV transmitters, so getting together what I need. I have a very basic question.

Originally I wasn't going to bother with rates or exponential, but now I think I'd like to have them internal to the transmitter, rather than on a switch. Never having done anything remotely like this before I was wondering if someone could point me to a suitable potentiometer to do the job. I've found the info on recommended nice tactile switch for the single channel button, so am putting together a wee order for RS to supply. If some kind soul could let me have an RS part number that would be really appreciated.

What encoder are you going to use for the conversion?
My encoder board has two pots on the board for that purpose and would manage all Phil's sketches as a few others
True I use most nRF24L01 but a ppm can eased be accessed and thus run a regular RF module lie the Lemon
I have not only suitable pots that could be mounted on a piece if strip-board but also encoders that I could program for in accordance with what you are looking for

Hi Tobe

I'm using Phil's 7 channel encoders for these conversions and the Lemon RF modules that I had from Stuart. My plan is to have the s/c button mounted on the front right of the transmitters and no additional switches outside of the case. They will likely each be dedicated to a single model, but I thought that the option to be able to set rates and expo would be useful, if they needed to be bound to additional models.

Just to give you an idea in how to solve internal "pots", here they are connected as per Phil's instructions

Thanks Tobe - that's really useful. I'm sorted now with a source for some suitable pots, so as soon as those arrive I'll be able to get started. It'll be just about my first electronics project beyond a simple light and buzzer circuit many years ago. I'm bound to have extra questions, but will put them in the thread showing my progress.

Onwards and upwards.
