Re: Need help programming a potentiometer

The program seems to be working fine, but it isn't reading any voltage from the potentiometer.

The potentiometer is currently wired into the analog breakout port 2. Do we need to wire it differently, or modify any parts of the program?

A little assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Measure the power, signal, and ground pins at the pot with a handheld multimeter and post your results here.
