This 10K linear pot is just like the popular Alps RK09 series but with a clear shaft that extends down to about 1mm above the underlying PCB. So, unsurprisingly, we paired this crystal trimmer with a skinny NeoPixel to make the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdafruit NeoPot\u003c\/strong\u003e, an easy-to-use glowing potentiometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach board comes assembled with a NeoPixel soldered beneath the potentiometer so it lights up the shaft for full RGB color selection. The potentiometer has all three pins exposed: P-, Pot (wiper), and P+, and is rated for up to 20V. Likewise, we have NeoPixel power and data: Vcc, N-In, Gnd and on the opposite side, N-out. You can power the pixel from 3V or 5V, ideally give it the same power as the logic level you're sending in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince most folks use the same power for NeoPixels as for a potentiometer\/analog input, you can solder the two jumpers on the bottom to tie P- to Ground and P+ to Vcc, saving two wires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCB has two strips of header for mechanical stability, and four mounting holes if you need to fix it against a front plate. Comes with extra header which will need to be soldered on to plug into a breadboard. Note you need a microcontroller\/microcomputer that can drive NeoPixels!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Dimensions: 25.3mm x 21.6mm x 17.7mm \/ 1.0\" x 0.9\" x 0.7\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Weight: 3.2g \/ 0.1oz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/includes\/templates\/shop2019\/images\/RoHS2_2011_65_EU.svg\" alt=\"RoHS 2 2011 65 EU Compliant\" width=\"145\" height=\"80\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/includes\/templates\/shop2019\/images\/RoHS2_2015_863_EU.svg\" alt=\"RoHS 2 2015 863 EU Compliant\" width=\"145\" height=\"80\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLearn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-neopot\"\u003ePrimary Guide: Adafruit NeoPot\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrank the volume in style with this clear shaft potentiometer and NeoPixel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/products\/6387\/guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSee All Guides\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56104976777595,"sku":"ADA6387","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/6387-00.jpg?v=1772034453","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/products\/adafruit-neopot-clear-shaft-potentiometer-with-rgb-neopixel","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
