Electrical – How to display potentiometer value from dspic33 microcontroller

I am new to the microcontroller world and am using a dsPIC33EP256MC506 controller and dsPICDEM -2 MCLV development board for a project. I am trying to read the value of the potentiometer that is on the dev board, but am having trouble. I just want to be able to run the program and move turn the potentiometer and see the program output the value. I know that I have to use ADC ports somehow to do this, but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. Documentation has not been very helpful on how to do this in the program either. If anyone can direct me to documentation that uses ADC to control the potentiometer or help me get started with this that would be great.

Also, does anyone know where this value will be displayed? It makes sense to me that it would be displayed in the Variables output tab, but no values seem to be populating for any variable.

Microcontroller: dsPIC33EP256MC506

Development Board: dsPICDEM -2 MCLV

Programmer/Debugger: REAL ICE

Compiler: MPLAB X – XC16

Thanks again!
