What you need

• 3590S-2-103L Potentiometer
• Arduino
• Power cable
• Pull-up resistor (10kΩ)
• Multimeter

Steps

1. 1. Mount the potentiometer on the circuit, making sure not to touch the contacts.
2. 2. Connect the pin A (gray) and B (brown) of the potentiometer to GND and VCC respectively.
3. 3. Connect the pin C (red) to pin A0 of the Arduino.
4. 4. Connect a pull-up resistor (10kΩ) between VCC and pin A0.
5. 5. Upload the following code to the Arduino.
6. 6. Check the potentiometer reading with the serial monitor.
7. 7. Adapt the code for your project.
8. 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
