Paul over at DorkbotPDX writes, “Often I throw together a quick demo for the bi-weekly DorkbotPDX meetup, usually involving one or more pots to adjust parameters. Finally, I’ve come up with a pretty good way to put pots on solderless breadboards.”
More details at Paul’s blog.

You turned a board for this?! Just glue them down with some hot-snot. It peels off when you’re done.
We use something similar for our Rad-Fi kit. It uses 5 pins to make it stable but I like the idea of using 2 rows.

Quote from the project page: “Best of all, real knobs with bright colors and sturdy construction really invite people to touch and adjust and play with a breadboard constructed demo, in fun ways that just aren’t socially feasible with trim pots”.
Socially feasible fun ways with knobs, touching and playing and such? I guess the author was daydreaming about some hot knobbing while writing this…
Hm, same-size pcb’s would be nice for rotary encoders and buttons too..
