Potentiometer hogs voltage?

Using Arduino General Electronics
4


So this is how my setup looks. The potentiometer is connected to Analog 0, power and ground. The motor is connected to digital pin 11 and ground.
Everything is connected on a breadboard, forgot to draw the square to simulate it :slight_smile: hope it makes sense.

My arduino code:

int analogInPin = A0;
int analogOutPin = 11;

int sensorValue = 0;
int outputValue = 0;

void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600); 
}

void loop() 
{
  sensorValue = analogRead(analogInPin);
  outputValue = map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  analogWrite(analogOutPin, outputValue);
  
  Serial.print("sensor = " ); 
  Serial.print(sensorValue); 
  Serial.print("\t output = "); 
  Serial.println(outputValue);
  delay(10);
}
