Red wire is VCC -pin51- (connected to left or right pin of the pot), blue wire is ADC1 -pin42- (connected to the central pin of the pot) and black wires are GND (connected to the left or right pin of the pot): there are two black wires because in the strain gauge circuit (an another experiment) I need of two GNDs. > Anyway did you try the single wire on a bare connector thing?

In the MDA300CA ADC1 to ADC6 are single dedicated channels to connect external devices as a potentiometer or a strain gauge circuit. > The only ADC connections on the mica2,z boards themselves > are Voltage at ADC7 and RSSI at ADC0.

The principal problem is that the Voltage readings are dependent on the ADC readings (any channels). In fact, without sensorboard (or break-out board) attached, the VoltageC shows values that change as a result of the ADC readings. For example, if I enable ADC1 I have these readings: ADC1 359, VoltageC 357 ADC1 358, VoltageC 357 ADC1 358, VoltageC 357 ADC1 358, VoltageC 356 ADC1 358, VoltageC 356 ADC1 358, VoltageC 356 ADC1 357, VoltageC 356 ADC1 357, VoltageC 356 but if I enable ADC4 (for example) I have these readings: ADC4 331, VoltageC 335 ADC4 332, VoltageC 336 ADC4 332, VoltageC 336 ADC4 358, VoltageC 335 ADC4 331, VoltageC 335 ADC4 330, VoltageC 335 ADC4 330, VoltageC 335 ADC4 331, VoltageC 335 that are different from previous values (with ADC1). This phenomenon should not happen, right? In fact in telosb node, VoltageC is always the same and is not depended on the ADC channel. So, I meant that the VoltageC component, even without sensor board or break-out board, mistakes the readings and is depended on the ADC channel (1, 2, 3, ...). Moreover, with the break-out board and the pot, if I rotate the pot VoltageC returns different values depended on the rotation. I believe that there is a software problem in iris' driver or a hardware problem in the mote. Greetings, -- Francesco Ficarola <francesco.ficarola_at_gmail_dot_com> [GPG KeyID: 0xDBA99D92]
