It's not quite that simple. The O/I is measuring the current through the analog inputs, not voltage. Simply soldering the 10k pots to a connector will give you limited range. Approximately %10 of the expected range(100k). Not to mention the O/I will never see analog value 127. The correct way to adjust for this is to create a voltage divider using the 5v aux as the input to the divider. You would divide the voltage down to apx. %10 of 5v (500mv).
Lets compare:
5v/100k = 50uA
.5v/10K = 50uA
As you can see from the math above, this is the only way to "trick" the O/I into seeing a 100k range of resistance. If you do not do this, the O/I will see a value of 229 at 10k. As the resistance decreases the value will increase. so your range will be 229-254.
