Cant find an answer, soooo, what are you all using to connect the potentiometer to your board, maybe 3 wire auto tail light ,brake wire which is like 24 gauge and comes in 3 colors, i thought i read some where thicker wire would be better because of cross over signal and put shrink wrap around wire and pot contacts. Or are you all using some kind of multi wire pre made for pcs or something.

I use servo wire http://hansenhobbies.com/products/co...wire/servo_dx/ from this seller. Or get a bundle of these, snip off one end connector and use pin headers on the PCB. Or even cut in half for male/female connections for other needs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/50-Pcs-15cm...EAAOSwnDxUh8ET

I just built a signal generator kit (square,sine, and triangle wave)to try my soldering and in case i screw up, only 7 dollars instead of a 30 some dollar MD pcb board, have not tested yet because no scope, 1 thing i had to solder was a 4 pin square pcb header, must have held the tip to long because the pin slid out a little while i wa soldering, good thing i am practicing, ordered new solder flux core maybe my solder a little old.
