What you need

• 2 pieces RV097GS 6Pins Dual Potentiometer B100K
• Arduino
• Power cable
• Multimeter

Steps

1. 1. Connect the 6 pins of the potentiometer to your Arduino: VCC to 5V, GND to GND, 3 pins as analog input (A0-A2).
2. 2. Connect the switch to pin 7 of Arduino (pull-up) and to GND.
3. 3. Load the minimum code to read the analog value.
4. 4. Test the potentiometer with a multimeter set to ohms to verify proper functioning.
5. 5. Connect the potentiometer to a display to show the value.
6. 6. Experiment with different values to improve your project.
7. 7. Check the datasheet if you need additional connections.
8. 8. Try controlling a servo with the potentiometer.

Example code

int val = analogRead(A0); Serial.println(val);

Mini project

Create a project that controls the brightness of a lamp with the potentiometer.

Common mistakes

• Connect the potentiometer to VCC without VCC.

Frequently asked questions

The potentiometer does not work after connection?
Check the connections and the code. If the problem persists, check the datasheet.

Can I use this potentiometer with a microcontroller other than Arduino?
Yes, the potentiometer is compatible with any microcontroller that supports analog signals.

What does the switch do?
The switch activates or deactivates the potentiometer. You can use it to activate/deactivate functions.

Can I connect multiple potentiometers?
Yes, but make sure to connect them to different pins and do not overload the analog pins.
