When using a pot as a voltage divider, does it make any difference what the resistance value of the pot is? I know that the voltage out is just a ratio and can be attained with any pot value, but are there other reasons for choosing a particular resistance value. Is there any advantage to using a 1k versus a 100k, or vice versa, and if so why?
Thanks.
