Esplora

## readSlider()

#### Description

Reads the value from the linear potentiometer as a 10-bit number. This means that it will map input voltages between 0 and 5 volts into integer values between 0 and 1023. This yields a resolution between readings of: 5 volts / 1024 units or, .0049 volts (4.9 mV) per unit.

#### Syntax

Esplora.readSlider()

#### Parameters

none

#### Returns

int : The linear potentiometer's position, mapped to a value between 0 and 1023.

#### Example

#include <Esplora.h>
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
int value = Esplora.readSlider();
Serial.println(value);
delay(1000);
}
