Experiment 2: Reading a Potentiometer
Introduction
In this circuit you will work with a potentiometer. You will learn how to use a potentiometer to control
the brightness of an LED by reading a sensor and storing its 0–1023 value as a variable, then using
it as a brightness level for the LED.
Parts Needed
You will need the following parts:
1x micro:bit
1x Micro B USB Cable
1x micro:bit Breakout (with Headers)
