Increase the Potentiometer Component's frequency to fire more frequently about adafruit_wippersnapper_arduino HOT 2 OPEN

Hmmm, 🤔 I wonder what's best. I know I made this problem more apparent when I adjusted the percentage before a change is registered (in line with an old comment in code).

In an ideal world for me I'd get notified of a change after it finished assuming it was relatively quick or a continuous movement, but maybe people want to see the granular change (reporting every x milliseconds until finished moving). In that instance id want a timer that would post a value in 200ms time based on old_value which would update if the movement continued and was above/below a threshold. Whether that's a sliding window based on more movement outside the threshold, or just post every x plus final window value if different, is the other matter.

The other thing is the threshold doesn't adjust logarithmically like one would want. We have a fixed value (maybe 0.2% or 2% I forget) for reporting on_change, which on the specific Adafruit 10k potentiometer I tried was fine, but any larger value and we missed rotation at the top end of the nonlinear scale. I believe/assume different potentiometers exist with other behaviors (inverted or proportional). In an ideal world we would have that as a setting for the wippersnapper analog components and the threshold would adjust nicely.

I think this is what the user wanted

Maybe we need to implement a more dynamic thresh. where smaller changes are not constantly reported. I agree with your timer approach, providing a fixed time window.
