Each pair of controller and piece numbers things differently. With a knob and a servo, the way is to map.

🎯 The challenge of this lesson

Change the Map output to one hundred thirty and you'll see that the whole knob moves the arm much less; then map it the other way, from one hundred eighty to ninety, and the arm will go in the opposite direction from your hand.
