That explains why the readings are so unnaturally stable :-)

Great for game controllers, not so good for analog input though...

Hi Guido,

Actually the pot is a 22K, but since it is used as a potential divider in the 20A8-8, that doesn't matter - the ADC is reading a voltage.

The situation is more complex than I thought. This is what I'm seeing in Win Me:

XPos range is either 0 - 65024, in steps of 512, ie.
0 / 512 / 1024 ...

I'm using the J/W 20 A8-8 with a potentiometer wired as recommended. I am getting its position by reading the Windows JoyInfoEx structure. However, I am only getting 7-bit resolution (128 steps).
I have calibrated it using the windows joystick calibration tool. This is in Windows Me.
Can anyone ...
