[sdiy] FaderBuddy - OSHW motorized fader module

[Mike Bryant]

Cheapest motorised faders I've met are Behringer's own replacements.

Of course they sell replacements in bulk might say something, it might not 😄

Adafruit sells long motorized faders as well

I'm sure you've seen the melbourne instruments synths. They have rotary motorized pots.

There are several variants out there from Bourns, and alps, they're around 13 bucks each. You'd need a different version control loop, however, totally doable

I wonder if this could be repurposed for potentiometers. I wonder what
the smallest setup could be that allows this sort of motion on a
potentiometer. I think a simple gearbox would be necessary.
