Today you are creating a potentiometer circuit in Tinkercad.
1. sample circuit is below.
2. sample code is below the circuit.
3. when you run your code, activate serial monitor and turn the potentiometer wheel with your mouse.
Setup your circuit to look like this:
Then add copy/paste this code into your circuit:
int potPin = A0; // Analog pin connected to the potentiometer
int potValue = 0; // Variable to store potentiometer value
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication
}
void loop() {
potValue = analogRead(potPin); // Read potentiometer value
Serial.print(“Potentiometer Value: “);
Serial.println(potValue); // Print potentiometer value to serial monitor
delay(100); // Delay for smoother readings
}
