Motorized Slide Potentiometer - 10KΩ Linear with 5V DC Motor

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
Motorized Slide Potentiometer - 10KΩ Linear with 5V DC Motor — Adafruit — 5466

This linear slide potentiometer comes with an added kick - its not just a plain old slide pot! Underneath is mounted a slim geared DC motor that can gently move the wiper up and down, without human interaction.
