The Breadboard Layout for 'Knob'

by Simon Monk

Our next step is to add a pot so that we can control the position of the servo by turning the knob.

You just need to add the pot and a lead from its slider to A0 on the Arduino.

Once you have mastered the basic blinking leds, simple sensors and buzzing motors, it’s time to move on to bigger and better projects. That usually involves combining bits and pieces of simpler sketches and trying to make them work together. The first thing you will discover is that some of those sketches that ran perfectly by themselves, just don’t play well with others. There are ways to effectively juggle multiple tasks on an Arduino. This series of guides will show you how.
