* degrees. The fullRange value is 270.0(degrees) and the offset is
* -135.0 since the halfway point after scaling is 135 degrees.
*
* This will calculate the result from the fullRange times the
* fraction of the supply voltage, plus the offset.

* @param channel The analog channel this potentiometer is plugged into.
* @param fullRange The scaling to multiply the voltage by to get a meaningful unit.
* @param offset The offset to add to the scaled value for controlling the zero value
