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 ?

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 ...

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