Finally found that pot you mentioned Etienne, but it´s to small...


Then i found these Andre pointed at:


But they wont work either, because the legs are in line, and i need the middle leg to be slightly in front of the to others:


See pic:


Or?? - maby i can bent the legs slightly??

No need, just bend the middle leg to the left one and solder them together.
or cut the middle off and solder something that connects the middle pin to the other like i did with the pot in my CK Power supply.
See, only two wires:



they are interconnected through the circuit as you can see :

These are way too expensive for that application, those are meant to be constantly adjustable (like a volume on a radio).

Pffffff I'm so sick and tired of Apple bashing....ooohhh, it's so bold if you dare to.,,, ohhhh you are SOOO cool if you bash Apple....YAWN...

Without Apple there was still no comfortable working smartphone, all the others are copy-cats PERIOD.

I still believe that a camera in a phone is a "nice to have emergency thing". If you want to make serious pictures you take a serious camera....."but but, i can not even phone with this camera"...sigh....

i knew you would react on that :D. and of course that's not right, that's like saying without atari there would have been no videogames which isn't true either!

If you really believe that Android would look like Android WITHOUT iOS you really are stupid.... but I give you the benefit of the doubt for simply being an Apple-hater and thus churn out stupidness for trying to "look cool"....

Bashing Apple (fans) constantly isn't very nice either. It's not just you but it's so "popular" these days of people who "know better" to bash Apple for everything....most of these people never even touched an Apple device...

It is SOOOOOOOOO getting old and boring....
