• 6 pins
• Dual potentiometer
• Value: B5K (check the datasheet)
• Integrated switch

What it is for

RV097GS potentiometers with integrated switch are ideal for controls on robots and appliances. They can be used to electronically adjust variables such as volume or brightness. The integrated switch can be used to activate or deactivate a circuit. They are compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers.

Tutorial: How to use Dual Potentiometer with Switch RV097GS

The dual potentiometer RV097GS is a useful component for electronically adjusting variables such as volume or brightness. This tutorial will guide you through the installation and use of this device.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• USB cable
• 5V power supply

Steps

1. Connect the A0, A1, VCC, and GND pins of the potentiometer to the corresponding pins on the Arduino.
2. Check the connection of the switch pins to digital pins D2 and D3 for input.
3. Load the Arduino sketch provided in the tutorial.
4. Check the value read from the potentiometers through the Serial Monitor.
5. Test the switch by pressing the buttons and observing the Arduino’s response.

Example code

int pinPot1 = A0;
int pinPot2 = A1;
int pinSwitch1 = D2;
int pinSwitch2 = D3;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int valPot1 = analogRead(pinPot1);
  int valPot2 = analogRead(pinPot2);
  int switchState1 = digitalRead(pinSwitch1);
  int switchState2 = digitalRead(pinSwitch2);
  Serial.print(valPot1);Serial.print(",");Serial.println(switchState1);
  Serial.print(valPot2);Serial.print(",");Serial.println(switchState2);
}

Mini project

Create a lighting control system with two potentiometers to adjust the day and night light. Use the switch as a quick way to turn the lights on or off.

Common mistakes

• Do not connect the switch pin correctly.
• Use voltage higher than 5V.
• Ignore the polarity of the potentiometers.

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Uno
• LED of various colors
• Resistors of 220 ohms
