Tried a second time using tape to cover the small hole - it's still a fail!Īlso See the not so nice tilt on the gear - these small pot's are easily damaged. Potentiometer + hot glue = wheel doesn't turn Hot melt glue got inside the wheel while gluing on the gear - there's a small hole in the wheel and hot glue flows nicely into it as you press the gear on.
Seeing full range of analog values with this 1:10 setup - but this small 10,000 Ω B103 is a fail! Inside gear and smaller B103 wheel potentiometer The top bracket ended up being too flexible and the gears don't stay connected - fail! I tried to work out how much gear was needed. Lets try to get more range out of our analog potentiometer This 1:10 ratio is going to work great for pan control! Love first print designs that are 95% working! I did a few quick test prints to workout the smallest gear teeth that would printout correctly. On to Pan Control - what kind of analog potentiometers have multiple rotations - I want to stick with analog as I don't want to count pulses or worry about location on startup - hey these cheap 10-turn rotating ones might do it! Hope the gear size for 1:10 can be worked out. Hot glued the potentiometer directly to the head It can be used worldwide with an appropriate adapter, sold separately.So this first test works! Get a range of about 100 analog readings for the 30 degrees of tilt. The Bescor PS-260 AC Power Supply for MP-101 Motorized Pan Head features a 120-240VAC, 60/50Hz input and 6VDC, 700mA output.
