Log or Lin pot?

Parts Questions

Hi,

Can someone tell me whether I should use a log or a lin pot when using an LCD to vary the display brightness?

Thanks,

Arnak

I can’t see the connection to Midification yet - Parts Questions would’ve been the right forum section.

Anyway, all pots used for Midiboxes are usually linear. But as the brightnes/contrast adjustments normally are done only one time, a log pot wouldn’t be much of a problem, just a little bit annoying for fine adjustment.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. :slight_smile:

I wasn’t sure where to post the question but as I am making a midi organ I thought this might be the best place. ???
