    Default t in POT, c's values

    Hello. I want to measure a Potentiometer's value by using POT.

    Between 43K and 13K I want 256 subdivisions.

    Questions:

    As t = RC, in what range is t to be ?

    What are the values of the capacitors attached ?

    Wink lack of POT ( French Joke ... )

    Hi,

    With POT ... you'll NEVER have 256 steps ... try it first !!!

    Use the RCTime command if you want something " not too bad "

    And if you want really neat 256 Steps ... nothing Else than an ADC !!!

    That's it ...

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    I give an analog digital converter a try. According to the data sheet this is better anyway.
