Attaching a potentiometer to nano

Hi
I am reading the value of the pot using a nano.
My pot is a 10K
Should I connect the pot to the 5V or the 3.3V on the nano?
What is the correct method?

Which Nano? The regular Nano is 5V but I think there are 3.3V versions.

Its the 3.3 version but is has a VIN, 5V, 3.3V pin

Do not use the 5V pin as you could damage the analogue pin that you are going to use

Connect one end of the pot track to GND, the other to 3.3V and the pot slider connection to the analogue pin

Exactly which "Nano" board do you have ?

No it is not. It is a clone of the classic Nano

In that case you can put the pot across GND and 5V or GND and 3.3V

Thank you!
