Re: potentiometer output to on/off switch

I would like to convert some output (ohm resistance?) from a
potentiometer to an on/off switch.

My electronics experience extends to being able to solder stuff...but
that's pretty much it. I take stuff apart, sometimes it goes back
together (and works).

I have a 3 axis joystick that operates by using potentiometers. The
output I can measure on them is from about 10 ohms (centered) to about
6 ohms at the 100% extended point. At the 50% extended point, I'd
like the switch to be "on".

Are the 3 pots totally separate, or are they
interconnected in any way? Do you have all 3
terminals of each pot available, or does each
only have 2?

These details will determine the kinds of
circuits we can recommend.
