Hi All Here's the problem: I want to control a potentiometer with a foot pedal. Pot is read by Uno analog input. If I connect the potentiometer direct to the foot pedal axis, I will get a a range of about 40 degrees movement on the pot. This is actually 20 degrees forward and 20 degrees backwards …

Small potentiometer range to give full 0-5V?

Ok, how about using a rotory shaft encoder and just counting pulses.
