Hi Du why use a pot?! <br>use a few optical recevers and transmiters... then as you slide you control the one thats dark turns on.... TaDa<br>Cris <br><a href="http://www.phoenixcomm.net/~phnx2000/sim">www.phoenixcomm.net/~phnx2000/sim

<br>what I need is this: I have seven LEDs that need to<br>be lit up in sequential order as a linear pot is<br>moved. So basically as you slide the pot from one end<br>to the other, the LED's all light up (only one lit at
<br>any given time) from one end to the other.<br><br>Idealy it could be adjusted so each LED lights up at<br>a specific resistance, as I need it to be a little<br>non-linear at spots - i.e. I for a couple, the pot<br>would need to be moved 1/2" to move on to the next
<br>light, then for others it would only need to be moved<br>a 1/4".<br><br>Somewhat confusing, I know... but it seems like it<br>should be doable. But I'm no EE so I dunno how.<br>Simpler the better, though. Not looking to sink a
<br>whole lotta money or time into this project.<br><br>As to my second question, Gene how thick are those<br>backlit panels you make? Do you think you could make<br>one roughly 1/8" thick, or would that be too thin?
