The other night, there were a few minutes when I started testing that the SoftPot didn’t respond to input. After a few minutes it went away and worked fine. Last night, it didn’t work again, and it never resolved itself. I tried using the example code as a sandbox and nothing was being received. I checked with my multimeter, and (I am a bit new to this) unless I checked incorrectly, nothing was being received. (No power, red lead on middle, orange in picture, and black lead on ground, yellow. Place finger on potentiometer and see if multimeter responds)
I asked a friend and they said the part was broken, but before I go and buy a replacement, I wanted to see if there was something I could do.
