hello experts,

I have to wire my ~100 pots.

+5v and Gnd are all common.

only one cable between each pot and AINx4

right.

I saw that AIN take 5v and Gnd from core, and can "forward" them to pots.

BUT for different reason, I'd prefer to wire 5v and Gnd directly from other lines in my circuits.

can I do that? or do I have to wire them from AIN ??

You can take the 5V and ground from wherever you want. But you really want to try not to end up with ground loops and the likes (star wiring...)

on this schematic:

I understand that if I watch my pots from a front view (soldering pins toward me) I have:

Gnd-Value-5V

is it right?

if it is, I'll just wire like that  :P

Yes, it's right. Only , when mirrored text, pots connections looks like reversed.

Redrawing some lines for better understanding.

Regards, Janis
