Potentiometer value

Archive

Hello! I
have connected (via designer) a potentiometer module (GHI-POT-GM-275) to a hydra:

// Initialize GTM.Modules and event handlers here.		
			potentiometer = new GTM.GHIElectronics.Potentiometer(14);

Inside a timer event I read potinetomter value:

uint percent = ( uint )( potentiometer.ReadPotentiometerPercentage ( ) * 100 );

I get always the same value, even if I change the potentiometer value. What I do wrong?
Thanks for help!

What happens if you print the value as is?

I get always (percantege / voltage):

56 / 1.869140625
56 / 1.8626953124999999
57 / 1.88525390625
56 / 1.85625
57 / 1.8949218749999999

Which socket?

Socket 14:
potentiometer = new GTM.GHIElectronics.Potentiometer(14);

I think, it ist damaged ;( A another one works flawlessly…
Sorry for the question, I could not find antoher one (earlier).

The pot is? This is strange. There is only couple of traces on the board. Maybe do a quick visual inspection.

The pot isn’t burned :wink: I will test it wit a extender module and then measure the voltages. I hope, it ist a possible way…

Can you measure the resistance as you twiddle the pot?
