Has anyone used Softpots with Bela before? I am using these ones https://grobotronics.com/softpot-membrane-potentiometer-200mm.html connected with a schematic i found for arduino and i get random values like:
print: 1.52588e-05
print: 3.05176e-05
print: 0
print: 4.57764e-05
Seems there is no patern in those values no matter where i press it. What kind of resistors do u suggest? Is there any schematic that has been tested and work?
Thanks in advantage.

well those values are all very small, almost zero (3.05176e-05 is actually 0.0000305176 in scientific notation), so it suggests that maybe there is something wrong in your wiring.

You should connect one end of the pot to ground, the other end to 3.3V and the middle pin to the analog input, and you should be able to read values between 0 and ~0.82 depending on where you press the pot. However, when the pot is not pressed, you will be reading values all over the place, due to the fact that the analog input is left floating. You could then connect an optional external resistor (e.g.: 470k) to GND, 3.3.V or 5V. The reference you connect it to will be the value you read when you are not pressing the pot: you will read 0 if it's connected to GND, ~0.82 if it's connected to 3.3V and ~1 if it's connected to 5V.
