Interesting application of digital pots.

And good to know about more affordable options too.

Great introduction and applications ... thanks a lot for sharing

Hi, new to electronics. I red "digital pot" and I thought "since when does a rice cooker have a part number?"

I do prefer the pot's that remember where you left them. i think i would like to set the pot start at one end, as then it could be min gain and not mid level.
But you can get around that by having an audio enable which you enable once you have configured all the pots and the circuit has stabilised.
I do like videos that get me thinking about how i would use one.

Hi! Thanks for your video. I have a problem with these ICs. I connected an audio supply, and I can control the volume. The problem is that when I change the pots' position, I hear an audible click noise. Do you know about this problem? Did you have this problem when you implemented it?

I ordered some MCP pots awhile back but haven't gotten to mess with them, yet. I have been trying to get an AD5241 to work, but can't seem to get the Arduino to communicate with it. I've been looking for a digital pot made that will go up to the 1M range

Would there be a way to use this in a 12v circuit on the pot side?

If i buy two in pcbway they come assembled and working ?
