LilyPad Protoboard Small + Potentiometer
2018-Sep-03, Monday 11:00 pmDo you know what's great? Control. The ability to adjust something without having to recode it. Potentiometers. But to use them in a wearable piece more easily they need to be set into a Protoboard. Previously I have set a headphone jack and wearable keypad into small Protoboards. I did notice the newer Protoboards have fewer holes but they still suit our current needs.
Get yourself a 10kOhm through-hole rotary potentiometer with 1mm mounting hole diameter. I went with a snap-in flatted shaft/d knob style, and matching knob. Fit the potentiometer onto the Protoboard. I had to angle the snap-in prongs outwards with pliers (to align with the Protoboard pins) to get it to fit.
