Had to make a very simple LED dimmer for someone. so this is the first test to see how well a servo pot worked.
Thought i might share...
Solder one end of the resistor to the red wire on the 9-volt battery clip. Solder the other side of the resistor to one of the ends of the potentiometer, then solder the short end of the LED to the black wire of the 9-volt battery clip.
Solder the free end of the LED to the free end of the potentiometer, completing the circuit.
To one extreme of the potentiometer the LED will be at maximum brightness, and to the other extreme, the LED will be maximally dimmed, or may be off entirely.
