Potentiometer with ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1

Wiring for the 10 kΩ potentiometer on the ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 (ESP32-C3, 3.3 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Test code (Arduino)

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  long mv = analogReadMilliVolts(0);  // OUT on 0
  Serial.println(mv);
  delay(200);
}

Questions

Which ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 pins do I use for the Potentiometer?

VCC → 3V3, OUT → 0, GND → GND.

Does the Potentiometer work with the ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 at 3.3 V?

Yes: the Potentiometer runs at 3.3 V and the ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 uses 3.3 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

BoardPilot checks this wiring in 3D as you build it, and finds crossed or missing wires on the real board.
