Boson: Rotation Sensor i1

SKU: BOS0001

The rotation sensor is a simple potentiometer module with rotation angle of 0~300 degrees. It outputs analog signal and work well with maincontrollers such as micro:bit and Arduino. And the sensor can be used for not only Mind+ and makecode graphical programming but also non-programming projects.
