Product Overview
This module features a 10KΩ rotary potentiometer mounted on a compact PCB, designed to provide an adjustable analog voltage output. It acts as a voltage divider, making it ideal for controlling analog inputs in microcontrollers and embedded systems.
With a simple 3-pin interface, this module allows users to easily vary voltage levels by rotating the knob.
