Configure the potentiometer

Use the Pin settings dropdown to specify the board pin the potentiometer is connected to. Only analog pins are supported.

Adjust the sensitivity using the Sensitivity slider. The slider controls how large a change in value must occur before MobiFlight recognizes the change.

Provide a meaningful name for the potentiometer in the Name field. This name is shown in the input configuration screens when assigning the potentiometer to a flight simulator input.
