If the diagram isn't on there, the offset pin on the pot will be number 2. Pin 1 goes to white, 2 to red, and 3 to black, on a PWM cable from an Analog Input.

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.
