The WDA rotary potentiometer allows positional feedback for a rotating part in your application. It can also be used as a dial to control variables such as volume, brightness, or sensitivity.

It has 360° of mechanical travel and 345° of electrical travel, meaning that it can be used for measuring continuous rotation with a small blind spot between each rotation.

Connection

Phidget Cable Adapter

This sensor can be used with any device with an analog input. Simply solder the included Phidget Cable Adapter as described on the Connection & Compatibility tab, and select a Phidget cable to connect to it.

Phidget Cables

Functional

To easily connect this potentiometer to a Phidget, solder the included Phidget Cable Adapter to the three pins on its side. The green terminal on the potentiometer is the wiper, and should be soldered to the white data line. The other two terminals should be soldered to power (red) and ground (black). Soldering ground to the middle terminal will result in increasing voltage ratio with clockwise rotation, while soldering power to the middle terminal will result in decreasing voltage ratio with clockwise rotation. Once the adapter is attached, you can plug in a Phidget cable of appropriate length for your project:

Interface Boards and Hubs

This potentiometer can be read by any Phidget with an Analog Input or VINT Hub port. It will connect to either one using a Phidget cable; see the diagram in the Phidget Cables section below for wiring instructions. VINT Hub ports can behave just like Analog Inputs, but have the added flexibility of being able to be used as digital inputs, digital outputs, or ports to communicate with VINT devices. For more information about VINT, see the VINT Overview page.
