I always thought a potentiometer controlled current instead of voltage. But in a tutorial for the Arduino it said that a potentiometer controls the voltage to the Arduino. I hope someone can explain! :cry:

Does a potentiometer control voltage or current?

But doesn't a voltage divider require 2 resistors lol?
