Other than that, I don't use easyc and I couldn't tell you if that's the problem.
Don't you mean 1 to red, 2 to white, and 3 to black, or 1 to black, 2 to white, 3 to red? Or did I confuse something. I think if you do this, you will release some magic smoke. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I have our potentiometer connected this way and I'm about to connect it tomorrow. Please Please reply.
