Control accurate incremental voltage steps with a rotary encoder
by Anthony Smith @ edn.com: Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots in series to give coarse/fine control (or using a...
