Student kit lesson 6 Robot arm

[dlhash]

I am new to Arduino I am trying to get the servo motor to point in the direction of the potentiometer for the student kit lesson 6 project. I have watched videos and tried every thing I can think of. I have checked my circuit over and over again and it is just like the instructions say. I have done the same with the code. I don't know what else to do to get it to work. Please help me, thank you.

I don't know what else to do

Start by reading the forum rules and then publish your code and a picture of a hand-drawn diagram showing all your connections, especially those related to how you are powering your circuit

In which direction is the potentiometer?

#include <Servo.h>
Servo myServo;
const int potPin = A0;
int potValue = 0;
int servoAngle = 0;
int servoPin = 9;

void setup() {
  myServo.attach(servoPin);
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  potValue = analogRead(potPin);
  servoAngle = map(potValue, 0, 1023, 5, 175);
  myServo.write(servoAngle);
  Serial.print("potValue: ");
  Serial.print(potValue);
  Serial.print(", servoAngle: ");
  Serial.println(servoAngle);
  delay(100);
}
