Cheap potentiometer only does part of a turn – need ‘continuous’ turn to realise piece.
Went shopping for continuous potentiometer – consumer approach – but was informed that such components don’t tend to be stocked – insufficient demand.
Assumption – scarcity means that ‘continuous potentiometer’ requires ’special’ technical facility.
Jamie – probably just something in there stopping it going all the way round…

Take apart – discovery – OBVIOUS! – ‘afraid to look under the hood’
Now – Arduino needs to communicate with MAX over SERIAL port – Short answer – NOT WORKING!

Joey provides workaround in shape ov OpenFrameworks application (have the feeling I’ll be using O.F. a lot more…)
