no reason you can't just use a 10K and limit to no higher than 5K in software. Sure you do loose some resolution, but who really needs 256 steps anyway

I was talking about the 5k digital potienmeter(pot) witch is a pot you control directly from a microcontroller or up/down switch... the same kind you got in modern tv set to control the volume... no moving parts... something less to break and cheaper to make.... no servo to buy...
