Volume stop at about 80% and wrong Arduino voltage. about deej HOT 5 CLOSED

That's weird !
With deej, we're not making a voltmeter, we don't need reference voltage to calculate precise voltage.
We only mesure variation of whatever voltage and no need for this voltage to be accurate.
So I uploaded original project code and rewired my hardware... and it works flowlessly ! 😮
I maybe had bad connection or damage wire... 😠
Thanks @omriharel for helping me and your quick answers, sorry 🙏 to have waste your time.

Hi @Ano10, thanks for writing (and thanks for the kind words).

The initial issue that you've reported usually happens to users who have incorrectly wired their sliders (most commonly due to wrong assumptions about their slider's pin layout). I'm not completely clear on what the solution you found is, and whether it works completely (or just accidentally circumvents some of the problems you've been having).

Due to the nature of these hardware-related circumstances (whether it's faulty hardware or bad wiring), troubleshooting them in a GitHub issue could be quite tricky. I'd like to take this opportunity and invite you to join our community Discord server. It's full of people who are always happy to help with debugging and solving hardware issues like this one - please feel free to reach out!

In fact I haven't received my sliders yet, so I'm using a potentiometer.
One outer pin goes to GND, other outer goes to 3.3v and middle pin to analogic input A0.
Arduino can't produce good 5V when connected to USB, but 3.3V may be correct on good quality board.
Arduino is not very accurate at reading voltage, specialy if not using outside reference. Measure can be correct on good quality board with rock solid 3.3V. Mine is not ... 😊

Thanks for the info. Sliders and regular potentiometers are electrically identical, so I use the two interchangeably :)

We've never seen this kind of issue even on cheap clone boards. Potentiometers that were wired correctly would always produce the full 5 volts, perhaps the board you're using is the problem. You should be able to wire your pots to 5v, run the original Arduino sketch and not worry about voltage read accuracy too much (deej has an adjustable built-in noise reduction system to help with the inevitable noise originating in hardware).

Hey @Ano10, no worries at all! Glad you ended up figuring it out and solving the kinks. I hope you enjoy deej, and let me know if you run into any problems in the future!
