Re: Confused about potentiometer values
We were using one pulled out of a joystick. Could the problem have been those potentiometers really only move 45 degrees, and as such, only effectively work through that range?

I am off to buy a radio shack 100k ohm pot and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks!
