I am trying to read values of a potentiometer using AnalogIn on mbed and print to a serial monitor. However i keep on getting crazy numbers. Mbed website is really hard to understand. I will attach pictures of code.

 

@SeanV123 There are more problems than just that. You don't look like you know how to write C or C++ code. Things are out of order, incorrectly specified, and it's just a bit of a mess. Look at all the errors/warnings at the bottom that the compiler is trying to tell you about.

You can't expect it to operate properly unless you know what you're doing.

I would grasp C before you attempt things with C++.

This might help:

Thanks man, I code with Arduino all the time and I'm pretty competent with it. Although I'm struggling here, this thread was posted in a fit of rage when I couldn't get it working (It's for a college assignment) I have cooled off now and will attempt again tomorrow. Thank you for your succulent reply I'm forever grateful
