10K, 75mm sliding potentiometer

Achievements
  • Soldered up the "Not" switch. Got it to work perfectly (all wiring ready to go). Now, all I need is for the "non-return" valve to turn up (from the US) and I can mount the whole of the vacuum gear ready to go.
  • Also tested out the motor. At just 15.6volts, it runs like an absolute dream. Very quite, and very smooth (and incredibly powerful).
  • Researched making accelerator pedal (eg electric game pedals). Decided make self ... so that accelerator pedal matches the brake pedal.
  • Found and ordered Potentiometer (10K sliding) for accelerator (from www.Futurlec.com.au).
