    Hi, There's just two or three wires on the potentiometer. I strongly suggest you just wire it up (in any way you think fit, you can google this), and see what happens. You'll learn more from that experience…

    In the end it turned out that it was software task - potentiometer was supposed to drive software based volume control, which the author finally achieved...

    Hi, You're not bothering me, this is genuinely the best advice I can think of. It's the best way to learn, just to try it, because in this particular instance, you're very unlikely to damage anything…

    Hi,

    There's just two or three wires on the potentiometer. I strongly suggest you just wire it up (in any way you think fit, you can google this), and see what happens. You'll learn more from that experience than just asking for a solution. This isn't the sort of topic where much detail can be given since it's all highly dependent on what you're doing and what your expectations are. If you just give it a shot, it may meet your needs or it may not, and you'll learn the benefits and the limitations of what you're doing.

    Going forward, you should definitely pick up a book on basic electronics, but for now why not just give it a shot, nothing much can go wrong. Obviously, use google to help you if you're really stuck figuring our how to make the two or three wired connections. 

    Time to be a bit brave and just try it.

    Hi,

    You're not bothering me, this is genuinely the best advice I can think of. It's the best way to learn, just to try it, because in this particular instance, you're very unlikely to damage anything.

    That's how people learn the best; try something, and if the error is reversible, then try something else, and then try to see what the pattern or cause was (lots of science and experiments can work like that in some ways).

    If you try it and don't get anywhere, share a photo or explanation of what you did and I'm sure people will make suggestions. Similarly with books/guides, there are plenty of suggestions if you want them.
