	Potentiometers are a common way to get one-dimensional input from a user. They are used to track the relative position of a control within its range of motion. In technical terms, potentiometers work as an adjustable voltage divider, with an output proportional to the input voltage and an electrical contact's position along a resistive surface. Potentiometers can track either rotary (circular) or linear position, depending on the device's construction.		Potentiometers are a common way to get one-dimensional input from a user.
