giuliomoro what are you doing in your code with the value you read from analog0? For instance the Analog/analog-input and Analog/analog-scope examples should work and give you an examples of how to use analogRead().
I was looking for a way independently use the poti to change internal values (normally coupled to the socket receiving on the respective input).
I'll have to recheck, but i now suppose my error might have been more simple:
I was evaluating my code, when i might have accidentally unplugged Eurorack power, which let's Pepper run on USB power furthermore, but turns the potis off, as long as the jumpers are set to work with 12V instead of 5V.
