Add the "Spark Fun" >> "POT" >> "POT" part (ALPS POT). That's it. Hat's off to SparkFun for creating a library with most of the parts they sell in it. Top notch stuff.</p>

<p>Which pin is the outer pin for the VCC and the GND? Is it pin 1 for VCC and pin 3 for GND?<br>
It can go either way, depends which way you want to turn the knob for "up".</p>
