Hi all,
I'm working on a Teensy synth, and I just realized that the slide potentiometers that I want to use are not available in 10K or 5K linear format. (Almost every other variation is available but not 10K or 5K for some reason.).
I'm curious what difference it makes in accuracy/noise/current draw to use different pot values for a basic analog read circuit. (There will be 8 of these sliders hooked up to various analog inputs.) I've heard that 5K and 10K are ideal for Teensy, but I'm wondering how much of a real-world difference it would make if I were to use 20K, 50K, or 2K pots in this basic analog read circuit.
This feels like a very generic question, so I apologize if it's been answered before. Thanks for any advice!
