What you need
- 3590S-2-103L Potentiometer
- Arduino
- Power cable
- Pull-up resistor (10kΩ)
- Multimeter
Steps
- 1. Mount the potentiometer on the circuit, making sure not to touch the contacts.
- 2. Connect the pin A (gray) and B (brown) of the potentiometer to GND and VCC respectively.
- 3. Connect the pin C (red) to pin A0 of the Arduino.
- 4. Connect a pull-up resistor (10kΩ) between VCC and pin A0.
- 5. Upload the following code to the Arduino.
- 6. Check the potentiometer reading with the serial monitor.
- 7. Adapt the code for your project.
- 8. Test your project.
Example code
```
int potPin = A0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int potValue = analogRead(potPin);
Serial.println(potValue);
delay(100);
}
```
Mini project
Create a linear control for an LED light using a potentiometer. Connect an LED to pin 9 of the Arduino and control the brightness with the potentiometer.
Common mistakes
- Do not check the potentiometer contacts.
