We are very glad to announce the new component, that is the potentiometer.<\/p>\n
Students and teachers can set the wipe value for the potentiometer using the properties inspector or directly from the potentiometer component by drag and rotate the wipe.<\/p>\n
This is very handy for training and experimenting with adjustable resistance.<\/p>\n
Also, students can set the track resistance of the\u00a0potentiometer easily using the properties inspector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
