I’m not finding any Piivodev potentiometers that “click” at the zero-side to act also as a switch. Wanting it to turn on the power of a Raspberri Pi and then also act as a volume control. If there isn’t one available I could opt to making a power button separately instead. Thoughts?

Hey josh,
Thanks for your forum post, I have had a look into our piicodev range and unfortunately we don’t have a potentiometer that matches your specs.
However we do stock an alternative from adafruit which may help you get a similar result which i have tagged below:

Neat! That’s the type I was looking for. Thanks!

Hi Josh,
It’s worth noting that you’ll need some interface hardware.
A power control board, (relay) and microcontroller to sense what the potentiometer is doing.

Hi Josh
If this pot is controlling audio volume it should be a log taper (taper A) or it will be very sensitive down the bottom end and broad at the top.
