Added lines 1-2:

The 5206 digital potentiometer is a great chip that features in 6 independantly controlled outputs. This makes the 5206 good for audio, lighting applications, and any scenario where you will want to control multiple analog outputs.

Here are the parts you will need:

5206 digital potentiometer(Available here)
one Board (Gerber file) - Eagle files can be found here(LINK)
one 24 pin socket
one polarized 1uf capacitor

The AD5206 digital potentiometer simulates six 10k ohm variable resistors. the AD5206 has six outputs (wipers), each capable of 255 positions. They are labeled as such: W1,W2,W3,W4, W5 and W6.

The outputs are controlled through three wires from your microprocessor. They are a CS pin (chip select), SDI pin (serial data in ), and a CLK pin (clock pin).

Pin description: CS - chip select input SDI - serial data input CLK - serial clock input VSS - ground LOAD - power for the potentiometers GND - ground VDD - +5 W1 - wiper one, output W2 - wiper two, output W3 - wiper three, output W4 - wiper four, output W5 - wiper five, output W6 - wiper six, output
