Dave,

The values in the post derive from a calculation sheet I've created 2 years ago.
The values from the calculation are based on a linear power response. Not a liniear voltage response. If all the pad values are the same, for instance a 10 pad wiperboard with each resistor 33 ohm, you will get a linear voltage response but certainly not a linear power response.
Power is calculated in P = U x I (P = Watt, U = Voltage, I = current).
This is the reason why the resistors do not have the same value.
To answer your question: The values in the post represent power progressive curve

Hi Willem

Are you achieving more linear or exponential response with this combination? I am trying the MJ11015/6 in the Jaygee circuit for linear response, instead. It is very little change to that circuit, which uses a 330ohm spread, as well.

Cheers and looking forward to more of your controller exploits.
Dave

Hi there,

To all the guys familiar with the transistor controller and the different resistor values you can use on the wiperboard,..here the latest calculation I made which I use on my own controller.

obviously the highest value needs to be the first pad and so on. This is the setup for a 12 step wiperboard and therefor 10 resistors, 11 steps to be controlled by the transistor (last step is 0 resistance therefor you only need 10 resistors) and the 12-th step is fullthrottle.

Enjoy......
