Careful with that tiny arc on the input. Maybe include a spring switch to apply power after its made contact with the conductors. Or just have a momentary switch you can hold while adjusting the pot.
ty. I usually tear out the potentiometer and add my own pot with a resistor in parallel to get my own desired maximum voltage, but with this device, I can just adjust the pot that's already there to a certain value and then add my own pot in parallel, saving me having to add the resistor. So probably saving a little time in assembly, and no longer having to stock different values of resistors

True, it's unlikely that I'll make those improvements, but are you stating that the initial arc has the capability to damage the board?

So long as the calibration is good, that's a neat solution.

If I understand what's going on here, and I assure you I likely do not, that seems like it would save a lot of tedious fiddling around. Cool gizmo!
