Can't tell how to adjust pololu potentiometers

[Gisborne]

At least one of my pololus isn't driving the motor attached to it.

There are little potentiometers attached, which I can turn with a
screwdriver. Great!

But they seem to be able to be turned in either direction
indefinitely. Not great!

I know. The Pololu site will have instructions on which way and how
far to turn them and so on. Turns out not!

Someone on the reprap boards will have asked this. Apparently not!

Any advice?

Thanks for the news. I’ll see if I can push them back in or something.

I’m so close...

Look closely at the potentiometer as you try to turn it. Most of the
screwdrivers I have tried do not work. They just spin and spin without
affecting the pot setting, though it may feel like it is turning it.
It looks like a philips screwdriver slot, but all of the philips
screwdrivers I've tried are either too sharp (so the blades don't
reach) or the blades are to thick. What works best is to use the
largest flathead screwdriver that will fit the pot.
