i hate to ask a stupid question but i guess i have to. On a pot there are 3 legs which ones do i use?
Just to try and teach you something...
Think of a 3 pin POT as 1 resistor (2 ends), with a sweaper arm (2 ends.. one to connect to, and the other end move along the fixed resistor.
If you have a 10KΩ POT for example,
(with a multimeter) You will have 10KΩ between the outside pins.
If the rototing knob is in the middle (50/50);
between the first and second pin you will have 5KΩ, and between the second pin and third pin you will have 5KΩ.
If the rototing knob is 25% one way (leaving 75% the other way);
between the first and second pin you will have 2.5KΩ, and between the second pin and third pin you will have 7.5KΩ.
Or the other way around depending on which way you turned the know.
Ok, i think i made that as complicated as i could.
lol...
