SoftPot Membrane Potentiometer - 50mm

The Sparkfun SoftPot Membrane Potentiometer - 50mm is a slim, variable potentiometer that changes resistance linearly from 100Ohms to 10,000Ohms when pressure is applied to different parts of the strip. This functionality allows for precise calculation of the relative position on the strip.

With its unique properties, this product can be used for a variety of applications. It serves as an accurate positional indicator for CNC head positioning, providing precise control for your machining needs. Additionally, it can be used as a variable user input, such as a volume level input, where different pressure points on the strip translate to varying resistance levels. It can also be used as a straightforward user input, where multiple button areas correspond to specific resistance levels.

The Sparkfun SoftPot Membrane Potentiometer - 50mm is designed for user convenience. It comes with an adhesive backing for easy installation and a connector that is spaced at 2.54mm, making it friendly for use with a breadboard.

One of the standout features of this product is that it works exceptionally well with a finger or stylus, giving users a tactile way to interact with their projects or applications.
