Potentiometer Prototyping Box

This is a quick and easy project!

I built this to alleviate the need to connect multiple potentiometers to breadboards for prototyping.

Here are the 3D Models

Potentiometers & Wiring

The parts list and wiring are pretty simple:


PARTS LIST

5 slide potentiometers

These pots have 2 sets of pins for weening and/or waxing readings... for this project, I only used one set. I assume the need for dual-direction readings would be useful in audio applications?

So they are wired using one set of pins per pot:

  1. Each ground pin from the 5 pots are wired together and then wired to the input connector
  2. Each VIN pin from the 5 pots are wired together and then wired to the input connector
  3. Each Data pin from the 5 pots is wired to the input connector

The Build

Potentiometer Breadboard Prototyping Box : Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc

Here is a video showing the as simple assembly and usage of the box.

The Files

You can download the STL files from GitHub:
