    Hi all,

    Just looking at Hall Effect POT purchasing in the Aus/NZ region.

    I am wanting to replace my 10K POTs for something a little more accurate and durable and from my reading, I am needing to buy some 180 degree hall effect rotational pot sensors. As normal, NZ seems to be limited with stock or local availability...

    I did find a DIY thread which looks interesting especially with having access to 3D printers - https://hackaday.com/2019/05/24/better-simulators-with-homemade-potentiometers/

    Thoughts and feedback appreciated
