What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Test Connection
• Power Supply

Steps

1. Connect the three pins of the double-ended potentiometer to a breadboard interface.
2. Connect the breadboard interface to pin A0 of the Arduino for analog reading.
3. Power the circuit with 5V and GND.
4. Write and upload the Arduino sketch to read the values of the potentiometer.
5. Monitor the Serial Monitor to see the read values of the potentiometer.
6. Adjust the dial of the potentiometer to see how the values change in the Serial Monitor.
7. Verify the proper functioning of the potentiometer and optimize the sketch if necessary.
8. Disconnect the circuit properly to avoid electrical damage.

Example code

int val = 0;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  val = analogRead(A0);
  Serial.println(val);
}

Mini project

Create a volume control system for a speaker using the Arduino and the double-ended potentiometer as the control.
