***Always make sure to power your servo motor with an external power source. Connecting a servo directly to your board will cause your board to behave erratically and can damage your board. The power supply voltage should match the specifications of the servo motor. for example, [this](https://store.arduino.cc/collections/motors-servos/products/feetech-mini-servo-motor-120-degrees-9g) servo motor's voltage range is between 4.8 V - 6 V, which means you need a power supply in that range (e.g. a battery pack of 4x AA batteries (1.5V) each).***

3132
For the **Knob** example, wire the potentiometer so that its two outer pins are connected to power (+5V) and ground, and its middle pin is connected to `A0` on the board. Then, connect the servo motor as shown in the circuit below.
