Learn how to spice up your project with potentiometer by using transparent potentiometer that can shine! All this is done by placing a 3mm LED inside the potentiometer, since it has the hollow shaft made from transparent plastic. And if you add transparent knob on top of it, it will look great. In this video, I will also show you how you can create a custom PCB in a form of an Arduino UNO shield.
