| 6 | +A digital potentiometer is a device identical to a potentiometer, except that instead of a physical rotating part that adjusts the resistance, it uses digital communication. Namely, the resistance of the digital potentiometer is adjusted via I2C communication. |

| 8 | +Our module is based on the MCP4018 IC which has a total of 128 steps between 0 and 5k resistance values. This would mean that it is capable of doing resistance steps of approximately 39ohms. It is controlled via I2C which makes it extremely easy to use. |
