speaking of using it for oscillators, couldnt you also easily use it for a sequencer as well?

im not sure I get what is going on here (see photo-section marked in green and red)-it looks sorta like a resistor ladder but where id expect to see the output on one side and ground on the other it i ...

and if so, or not-does anyone know how to safely and easily/cheaply take the out from 5v closer to standrd (1v roughly)?

yes-and I just got a order (50) and of 10 I tested, 10 worked..so just FYI. VERY VERY CHEAP (i think like 3or 5$ for 50) and decent quality.

Have you tried switching potentiometers? sometimes its a noisy pot or scrthced section of the copper semicircle in the pot..prob not but i try to check the easiest thing first even if its less likely.

seriously, does ANYONE have a guess? Id really like to use these.

so if i understand-yr using the LDRs instead of just the pot, because you want to control the filter and volume as well-so potentially 3 things with the same motion? (pot functioning as axle, 2 ldrs & ...
