Re: Potentiometer issues

<Same team as OP>

I guess our main question is:

What code do we need to read the 1-60 mV output of the potentiometer? We have it wired into Analog breakout 1, and using a multimeter on the prongs shows the correct mV output as the string is retracted.

What we currently have is based on this analog input guide from team 358
http://team358.org/files/programming...utExample2.jpg

When we boot up and enter test mode, we see the output from "potentiometer" and it appears to be live (its constantly changing) however it only changes from -0.0001 to 0.0001 and doesn't appear to be reading any real voltage values.
