Re: potentiometer typo?

Apparently the OI is designed to have the pot wired exactly as shown in the diagram...with only one end connected. This is a safety feature that will allow the OI to detect when the joystick cable is pulled out, and shut off the robot drive.

I've been advised by a couple knowledgeable people here to wire it as shown in the diagram when I asked the same question.
