SparkFun BOB-13099 Rotary Potentiometer Breakout Board - Rotary Switch Position Sensor
The SparkFun BOB-13099 is a breakout board designed to interface a 10-position rotary switch with user-selected resistors, creating a custom, stepped potentiometer for precise rotary position sensing. It provides three connection points (CCW, W, CW) for easy integration into Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other 3.3V/5V microcontroller projects requiring discrete resistance selection.
Features
- Converts a 10-position rotary switch into a custom stepped potentiometer.
- Features nine through-hole positions for user-defined resistor values.
- Provides 10 discrete rotary selection steps for repeatable position sensing.
- Offers CCW (Counter-Clockwise), W (Wiper), and CW (Clockwise) output connections.
- Compact breakout board design for straightforward circuit prototyping and integration.

The SparkFun Rotary Potentiometer Breakout (BOB-13099) facilitates the creation of a custom, multi-position variable resistor. By populating the nine through-hole resistor positions with user-selected values, it transforms a compatible 10-position rotary switch into a precision stepped potentiometer. This allows for the design of specific resistance tapers and discrete voltage divider outputs corresponding to each switch position.
The board outputs a variable resistance signal via its three connection points, enabling direct interfacing with microcontroller analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for rotary position detection. Its compact form factor and straightforward pinout make it ideal for prototyping custom control interfaces, selector switches, and instrumentation panels where repeatable, discrete settings are required.
