If you're tired of constantly turning knobs, the DS3502 I2C Digital Potentiometer offers a smart solution. Instead of manual adjustments, your microcontroller can now control resistance for you, providing convenience in numerous applications.
The DS3502 connects via an I2C bus to your Arduino or Python-powered device, allowing precise resistance changes with ease. It's designed with practicality in mind, featuring a breakout PCB with SparkFun qwiic compatible STEMMA QT connectors, eliminating the need for soldering.
Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers, this chip excels in simplicity. Configure it once by setting the wiper value—a 7-bit number offering 128 resistance levels from 0-10K ohms—then you're ready to go.
Developers will appreciate the included Arduino and CircuitPython/Python 3 drivers for seamless integration. With adjustable default values and a controllable analog voltage range of 4.5-15.5V, the DS3502 can handle various demands effortlessly.
For advanced setups, utilize the address jumpers or pins to assign one of four I2C addresses, allowing up to four DS3502 units on a single bus. This device simplifies tasks while expanding possibilities with your microcontroller projects.
