Potentiometer Sensing#

To make Potentiometer Sensor blocks appear in VEXcode V5, a 3-Wire Potentiometer Sensor must be configured in the Devices window.

Potentiometer Angle#

The Potentiometer Angle block is used to report the angular position of the Potentiometer.

  ([Potentiometer3A v] angle in [% v])

Choose which Potentiometer to use.

Image of a potentiometer angle device used for sensing angular position in robotics applications.

Choose which unit to report in: percent (%) or degrees.

Potentiometer angle measurement display showing angular position in degrees or percent for V5 Brain.

In this example, the Potentiometer will print its current angular position to the Brain’s Screen.
