Most traditional volume knobs employ a potentiometer.

Troubleshooting:
Sporadically Working
is is most likely due to a slightly dodgy connection
with the potentiometer's pins. is can usually be
conquered by holding the potentiometer down.
Not Working
Make sure you haven’t accidentally connected the
wiper, the resistive element in the potentiometer, to
digital pin 0 rather than analog pin 0. (the row of pins
beneath the power pins).
LED Not Lighting Up?
LEDs will only work in one direction. Try taking it out and
twisting it 180 degrees (no need to worry, installing it
backward does no permanent harm).
You should see the LED blink faster
or slower in accordance with your
potentiometer. If it isn't working,
make sure you have assembled the
circuit correctly and veried and
uploaded the code to your board or
see the troubleshooting tips below.
A “variable” is a stored value you’ve given a name to. You must introduce,
or "declare" variables before you use them; here we're declaring a variable
called sensorValue, of type "int" (integer). Don't forget that variable names
are case-sensitive!
int sensorValue;
Code to Note:
Real World Application:
Open Arduino IDE // File > Examples > SIK Guide > Circuit # 2
What you Should See:
e Arduino is very very fast, capable of running thousands of lines of code
each second. To slow it down so that we can see what it's doing, we'll often
insert delays into the code. delay() counts in milliseconds; there are 1000 ms
in one second.
delay(sensorValue);
We use the analogRead() function to read the value on an analog
pin. analogRead() takes one parameter, the analog pin you want
to use ("sensorPin"), and returns a number ("sensorValue")
between 0 (0 volts) and 1023 (5 volts).
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
