Unhappy Confused about potentiometer values
We're trying to solve a problem using a steering wheel. We tried using a joystick potentiometer hooked up to the operator interface but, when we spun it to the 270 degrees that we needed, it only gave us the values from 127 till 170 while turning 45 degrees left and right of center. What kind of potentiometer should we use to correct this. We want it to read from 0 to 254 for the full 270 degrees.
