Key Topics
- Using a potentiometer to control an output
- Connecting sensor input to RGB behavior
- Introduction to servo motors
Before Moving On
Make sure your circuit and code from this lesson work reliably before continuing to the next episode. Save your code so you can build on it in later lessons.
What’s Next?
In Lesson 11, you’ll combine the potentiometer, servo, and RGB LED so one input can control multiple outputs.
