A collection of my thoughts on things that begin with the letter "c" such as computers, cats, the cosmos, coding, clouds, and career.

Friday fun: Arduino 101 potentiometers and servos
So how's my Arduino project going? It's not :( I've been buried at work and I am still dragged down by this cold that I have been fighting for over three weeks now. Yeah, I know.... excuses, excuses. Hopefully this video from makemagazine will get me moving:
Here is the URL for the Arduino homepage: http://www.arduino.cc/ Feel free to comment or drop me a line if you are interested in the Arduino, and especially if you are have or are working on an Arduino based weather station.
That is a good question and a pretty sneaky way of putting in an add for your business.
I believe that the potentiometer used in the video can be obtained from any electronics supply supplier or shop and if not you can definitely get them from the Maker Store.
This blog is a place for me to post about things that interest me such as robotics, Arduino, computers, geek humor and culture, as well as other geeky muses.
I am also hoping this blog will also serve as a means for me to meet others who have similar interests.
Keep an eye on my other blogs where I post about astronomy (on two blogs no less), retro computing, and even urban spelunking.
And please feel free to comment if wish. Everything except spam, troll bait, and profanity laced rantings will be approved.
I am just a geek living the geek life. I am in the process of retooling my career and I am looking forward to the future.
I am interested in meeting others who have similar interests as I do, so feel free to contact me.

What kind of potentiometer Arduino 101?? I know of thinpot , softpot and membrane potentiometers....
