It looks like the pot you're talking about is connected to the Robot Controller (because the RC can measure 0 to 1023, the OI can only measure 0 to 254). The original poster is talking about a pot wired to the Operator Interface, which measures analog signals differently than the robot controller. It requires 100K ohm pots (or else some fancy trickery) to work correctly.
