I need help coding the Potentiometer for our Robot. We are doing an extending passive intake and we need an arm to put the cubes on the ground and to do that, we need to use a potentiometer. Can someone please explain to me how you code this?

Thanks

VEX discontinued VCS some time ago. Please download VEXcode instead:

Use the Vex API. It may not have the commands exactly for VexCode but it works exactly to VCS (last I checked). If you are using VCS, highly recommend you change to VexCode.
