Hello
My friends and I have encountered a problem that we have not seen before.
The circuit is essentially a light dimmer that works with no problems over multiple versions. Now with a new source/style of potentiometer, we find that the light will not turn on unless the potentiometer is suspended in OPEN AIR.
This is peculiar, no doubt. When the pot is touched with any sort of physical object, at best the signal weakens horribly, and most of the time it shuts the light off completely.
Any ideas as to why this happens??
Thanks so much
