## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE09096:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE09096:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

If you need to adjust voltages in your project use a potentiometer, the staggered legs make for a stable fit in a breadboard!

This 10k potentiometer is perfect for user interfaces and making voltage adjustments in your project easy, check out [our guide on potentiometers and reading them with the Arduino Uno](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/arduino/potentiometers-and-the-arduino-uno/)!

### Specifications:

- Model: 3386P-1-103
- Power (Watts): 0.5W, 1/2W
- Tolerance: ±10%
- Number of Turns: 1
- Adjustment Type: Top Adjustment
- Resistive Material: Cermet
- Adjustable Range: 0-10K Ohms

### Examples

#### Raspberry Pi Pico - Micropython

 ```
from machine import ADC, Pin
import time

pot = ADC(Pin(26))  # Create an ADC object on pin 26 (ADC0)

while True:
    reading = pot.read_u16()  # Read the value from the sensor
    print("Potentiometer reading:", reading)
    time.sleep_ms(500)  # Wait for half a second before reading again

```
