Linear pots also have a very non-linear volume scale. They only offer a few degrees of usefull range, with the rest offering little increase in volume for lots of spin... This just means that when I have money again I have to get one of the Chinese steppers. maybe i can rig a shunt in the mean-time (yuck) edited/added: I added a 7.5k ohm shunt resistor between the output and ground. Its better than it was, but still leaves a little to be desired. Its just a band-aid until I can get some cash for a Chinese stepper. |
