Stupid question, but just making sure the pot reads in advance.

In the low/start position, what are the other variables reading?
The pot is reading ~3.5 at the lowest position of the arm and 1 at the highest

Even without the limiting code, the exact same movements are observed.

And I know the voltage is too low- the problem is that it isn't outputting anything at all until the value is below 3 (arm up)
