Hi ,

Kindly find my analysis from my understanding of your question.

1. do I need to do any special configuration with the De10 Lite FPGA in order to read the analog voltage from a 10k ohm potentiometer voltage divider setup

>> From the above I think you need to connect a potentiometer to a Pin in ADC, This will convert the analog signal to digital signal.

2. then can you provide me with specific detailed instructions on how to proceed? If the answer is no, then can you point me to the document that can help me with the setup

>> This one you have to call/instantiate ADC IP in your design.

If you are using a platform designer, I am requesting to check the user guide for the platform designer.

I am sharing the documents which is useful for quick start to work in platform designer.
