[sdiy] making a 100k pot act like a 10k

[Gorka Garcia]

"The secret life of pots", a very interesting article from R.G.Keen

http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/potsecrets/potscret.htm

And an interesting spredsheet from "Calambres" to calculate the equivalent potentiometer:

This solves the problem if you only need the 10k end-to-end. If you need the
impedans on the wiper as if it is a 10k resistor, you are still pretty lost.
So, it depends on how they are used. It may even be that stuffing a 100k pot
is fine without any tricks at all.

Cheers,
Magnus
