Hello all,
I know there are potentiometers with switches so that when the resistance is turned very low the switch will "do its thang." But do they make them so that the the switch opens and closes when the resistance is at a maximum?
Ideally i would need a pot, and when the resistance is turned to its highest level, a normally open switch closes. then the switch clicks open as the user lowers the resistance.
Is there such a thing? I've been trying to search for something like this and can only find pots that have a switch that is normally closed, and then opens when the resistance is at a minimum. Or is there some sort of rotary switch contraption that i can add onto a regular pot to control a switch as i please?
or would anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve a similar result in another way? I like the pot switch though because it gives the user that satisfying "click"
Thanks
