### Result
 The detected value displays on the OLED screen. 

## Python Programming 


### Step 1

Download the package and unzip it: [PlanetX_MicroPython](https://github.com/lionyhw/PlanetX_MicroPython/archive/master.zip)

Go to  [Python editor](https://python.microbit.org/v/2.0)

### Step 2

### Reference

```
from microbit import *
from enum import *
from trimpot import *

trimpot = TRIMPOT(J1)
while True:
    display.scroll(trimpot.get_analog())
```


### Result
 The detected value of the Analog Rotation Potentiometer displays on the micro:bit.
