    I'm new to eletronic stuff. I am trying to find a POT that I can hook into my model simulator with a pulley system.

    How can I hook up a pot to a pulley when al the pulleys are designed for the small motor rods and not hte fat POT, there doesnt seem to be any POTs that are designed to do this, they seem to all be designed to be used as nobs for humans to turn.
