Steven_C Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 use a multimeter to work out which is which. Find out if 2 of them are connected to each other on the inside, using the ohms ranges and continuity test. You will know when you have found the two end pins , as when you have the meter probes on each of these, you will always measure 10kohm no matter where the slider is.good luck! __________________+5v fixed pin | || || |<-------------- wiper pin| | | |__________________ 0v fixed pin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
