Re: Programming a Potentiometer

Thanks for the responses!

So, what we'e doing is using the mini-CIM to wind a winch, using a ratchet to make sure it only goes one way. We want to be able to wind the winch to a certain amount, to ready our spring-shooter. So we'll most likely use a PID related code in the end, to have a setpoint that on button push, will wind up to a certain amount (via readings from the pot), then stop.

I'll fill you in on more precise details when I'm at robotics tomorrow afternoon.

Would the only way to get readings to actually test with the pot, or is there some way to show that, x degrees of turning = y voltage?
