MakeBlock Me Potentiometer

Overview

Featuring an adjustable range with the highest resistance of 10 KΩ, the Me Potentiometer module is a resistor with three terminals, and its resistance can be adjusted by rotating the knob. The module can be used to adjust rotational speed of motor, and brightness of LED lamp. Its black ID means that it has an analog signal port and needs to be connected to the port with black ID on Makeblock Orion.
