I am playing around with graph values and are not sure where these connections are made between the Arduino & the pot as there is no schematic. The pics are blurry. It looks like 5V,GND and SCL are used?

}

Thanks in advance

instructables has a bad reputation here for providing little/no/wrong information. As you say, the pictures are too blurry so see what is connected where and the description, such as it is, does not help

The downloadable code does an analogRead() from pin A5 as you seem to have discovered and changed to A6 from which I gather that you are not using a Uno. To read a pot on an analogue pin you need to connect the 2 ends of it to 5V and GND respectively and the wiper to the analogue input pin

Thanks UKHeliBob.

When I looked at the picture it looked like SCL was used but that can't be correct. I use a DUE- as you have already noticed, pin 6 is used.
