Re: Potentiometer with BS2

Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot. That does help. I had seen that POT command before but seeing it was only for the BS1, I thought I wasout of luck. But RCTIME seems to be what I'm looking for. My end goal is to have the BS2 take a potentiometer reading in, and give a PULSOUT that is directly proportional to what the input is.
