Potentiometer

Introduction

The Potentiometer is an analog sensor that measures the angular position of a rotating shaft. It outputs a voltage proportional to its position.

Depending on the Potentiometer version, the amount of rotation it can detect varies:

• Potentiometer – Up to 250 degrees

• Potentiometer V2 – 330 degrees (Continuous)

Below is a list of available blocks:

• Potentiometer angle – Reports the angular position of the Potentiometer in degrees or as a percent.

Potentiometer angle

The Potentiometer angle reporter block reports the angular position of the Potentiometer.

Parameter	Description
device	Which Potentiometer to use, configured in the Devices window.
units	The unit of measurement: % reports the position as a percentage of full rotation (0 to 100%). degrees reports the current rotation angle in degrees (0 to 250 or 330).
