Micro BITx Audio Pot

 

What is the shaft size on the provided audio pot in the uBITx?? It was 0.16 in the BITx40 but pictures of the uBITx parts make me think it might be different in the the uBITx.? I'm trying to get all the parts that I have to provide together before the kit arrives, and this knob is of interest.

Bob,

Same as B40. I have used the standard pot so that I can use the 1/4" shaft knobs.
Almost any audio taper pot from 5k-50K(A) should work. You could repurpose from
some speaker amp or defunct audio equipment.

The one supplied has a 4 mm shaft while the encoder has a 6 mm shaft.
I found Mentor Knobs that had the same style for both shaft sizes.? See my photos posted or my QRZ page.

I ordered from Farnell in the UK (export site) and apparently they must ship a container to the US each day and then send by Mail as I paid a almost nothing to get them here in the US.
