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?

Ah ofcourse! I'll search up some more info about voltage dividers.
Thanks for all the replies though!
