Hi! Everyone!
I got question about detecting resistors which I used multimeter to detect both potentiometers and flex sensors and that made different in the end.
The potentiometers' number did not change when I rotated it but flex sensors' number did!
What happened in them? Someone can explain that for me! I appreciate it.thanks.
If you connected a multimeter across the outside terminals of a potentiometer, there would be no difference in the resistance if you turned the shaft.
You need to connect adjacent terminals, so that you connect to the wiper.
The potentiometers' number did not change when I rotated it
A pot has three connections:-
You need to measure between the centre connection and one of the ends. It sounds like you were just measuring at each end of the pot. This is the fixed part and the centre is the wiper that gives you varying numbers.
I got it! Thanks for your clear interpretation!
