Another option is to first convert your potentiometer voltage to an angle (The relationship should be of the form angle=m*voltage + offset). You can then use that angle to calculate the height of your arm end effector (you'll likely need to draw out the geometry to arrive at the correct equation). Your presets could then be set in inches from the floor.
