Class for reading analog potentiometers.
Analog potentiometers read in an analog voltage that corresponds to a position. The position is in whichever units you choose, by way of the scaling and offset constants passed to the constructor.

Construct an Analog Potentiometer object from a channel number.
Use the fullRange and offset values so that the output produces meaningful values. I.E: you have a 270 degree potentiometer and you want the output to be degrees with the halfway point as 0 degrees. The fullRange value is 270.0 degrees and the offset is -135.0 since the halfway point after scaling is 135 degrees.
This will calculate the result from the fullRange times the fraction of the supply voltage, plus the offset.
- Parameters
-
channel | The Analog Input channel number on the roboRIO the potentiometer is plugged into. 0-3 are on-board and 4-7 are on the MXP port. |
fullRange | The value (in desired units) representing the full 0-5V range of the input. |
offset | The value (in desired units) representing the angular output at 0V. |

Construct an Analog Potentiometer object from an existing Analog Input pointer.
