I shoulda thought of that. I’ll take a look and see if I can’t figure out how to use the damn thing.

Thanks.

Yeah I have three wires. I tried doing pin 1 and 3 as per FSM (if I recall, I did this the first time I had this issue 3 weeks ago) and my arrow went from nothing (as if it was off) to the complete other side (infinity?)…

I’ll search for a tutorial and see if I can’t figure it out.
