Re: Labview Potentiometer Control

We added a probe to the output of the Get Voltage vi, and it just fluctuates around zero (looks like noise) no matter what the potentiometer does. (The pot is in analogue 1, and we identified it as such in the code.)

Thus, if someone has some sample code they would be willing to share, that would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Patrick,

I would be really helpful if you could post a screenshot of the relevant part of your code and a picture showing how you connected the potentiometer to the cRio

it seems like your connection is wrong and you are measuring an input that is not connected to anything.

regards,
Borna
