Potentiometer with ADC

I'll definitely check that, thank you. We currently have the pot wired so that the signal wire is in the center, which I assumed to be the wiper based on a previous topic here. Do all pots use the center connection for the wiper?

That's true of all of the generic single-turn pots I'm familiar with. However, the five- and ten-turn pots are different, with the wiper at one end and a little offset from the other two connections. The linear "slide" pots don't seem to have a consistent pattern.
