Digital potentiometers

[Alkex]

Hi there,

I was looking at possiblitys of automating resistance between two points rather than CV voltages to one point.

the circuit below allows us to increment/decrement the resistence of a digital pot using only  two switches.

I havent much of a clue with electronics, but I was thinking that maybe a change in this circuit could enable us to control these digital pots with Dout pins ...

Would anyone know a way of doing this?

thanks in advance,

Alex

Hi,

You might be more interested in using Digipots directly controlled by PIC. Captain Hastings Did this with Analog Devices AD5204 chip and modified AOUT driver, check:

Moebius,

This was just what I was looking for! Thanks to you and Captain (Hastings) <-my place of birth!  ;D
