Draw wire potentiometer

It might seem a bit scary and hard to understand with big words like draw wire potentiometer but it is definitely not complex. But don't worry! We know we humans can design an unimaginable thing called a gyroscope, but in reality it is only one tool that helps quantify movement. If you are curious about more in-depth information, we have a wiki page that breaks it down and explains how all of this works

A   SOP draw wire encoder  potentiometer consists of ohmic resistance wire furnished with a cover, which slides taking place the cable when protestors move towards and goes down once they go aside from collectively in an initiative. 

How to measure linear displacement with a draw wire potentiometer

Draw wire potentiometer, or DWP for short is probably one of the simplest and easiest tools to use on your robot. This is how we can determine the distance covered by anything when it is in straight motion. The DWP has a long line that hooks up to the object we wish to size. As we pull the wire out, it turns a dial and that gives us an exact measurement of how far the object moved. Like counting steps, only we count how far something else travels

The first time we move an object: To measure how much something moves with a DIY DWP, you just have to fix the wire onto what is going be measured (door or machine part) We attach it to the wire then stretch out as far as it goes Then, we read the dial number for measurement. This  SOP wireless load cell  allows us to use a DWP, for example in order to determine over the course of how many degrees (in case of swing door) or micrometers away from original (machine-part movement). It's a lot easier to get precise measurements!
