Build a Resistor/Capacitor Selection Box

If you’ve ever been designing a circuit and had to experiment with different values of caps and resistors, you probably didn’t like it much.  It can be a hassle to switch out components over and over, trying to find the right combination to suit your needs.
Build a Resistor-Capacitor Selection Box
With RC filter circuits, it can be quite difficult to determine what resistance and capacitance you need to get the filtering attributes you want.  With a Selection box such as this just a turn of a knob can test many different values.
Features:

  • 10-turn potentiometers for precise resistances
  • Low-resistance protection button
  • Wire terminals
  • Twenty-two capacitors on rotary two rotary switches
  • Series or Parallel cap orientation switch

Below is a spreadsheet containing calculated values for all possible capacitor combinations.
