19.7.5. Result#

The detected value displays on the OLED screen.

19.8. Python Programming#

19.8.1. Step 1#

Download the package and unzip it: PlanetX_MicroPython

Go to Python editor

../_images/05001_072.png

We need to add enum.py and trimpot.py for programming. Click “Load/Save” and then click “Show Files (1)” to see more choices, click “Add file” to add enum.py and trimpot.py from the unzipped package of PlanetX_MicroPython.

19.8.2. Step 2#

19.8.3. Reference#

from microbit import *
from enum import *
from trimpot import *

trimpot = TRIMPOT(J1)
while True:
    display.scroll(trimpot.get_analog())

19.8.4. Result#

The detected value of the Analog Rotation Potentiometer displays on the micro:bit.
