Hey guys-
I have a bunch of sweet (hermetically sealed) high quality 1 Meg pots that were given to me. I know you are supposed to use 10k pots on ADC inputs....but the 1M pots seem to do fine in my test circuit. I understand that the current available thru the 1M's for the ADC reading (charge cap etc) is low and the reading might take longer with the 1M pot...but besides this is there a problem using the 1M's?
Will it damage the picaxe?
My circuit has 0-60 second and 0-60 minute timing cycles adjustable with the pots and seems to work perfectly and accurately.
So- can I use the 1M's or should I order the 10K's?
THANKS!
