Re: coding a potentiometer
Do you have to pot attached to the OI or attached to the RC?
You could have a wiring problem with the pot in either place, so double check the OI or RC specs for correct wiring.

The dashboard display for the OI comes setup to show the joystick port pot values as a range from 0-254.

For the RC dashboard screen you'll have to scale the pot (0-1023) to the range (0-255) and set one of the User_Byte's (1-6) to that value.
