Analog volume wheel doesn´t work

Hi,
I followed the wiki and installed the analog volume wheel from the last pre-order.
But I dont get it to work...
I use the Circuit Sword V1.1E, the backboard with the analog volume wheel V1.00 and the RetroPie 4.4 image from Kites releases.
The wires are attached properly (picture below).
I´ve done anything like the wiki told me (Arduino update -> new method to calibrate joystick -> enabled analog volume)
I set in the config.h the proper model (1.1E) cause it was set to the 1.2 model as default.

Can you please show the output from the configurator:

The first was with the volume wheel at 100%
This one is with volume wheel at 0%

Hm, can you double check the connection in to the back board itself (the 3 pin cable), is that fully seated? If you inspect inside the white connector on the board, are there any bent pins?
It's acting like the pot isn't connected

I checked it MANY times before I posted here my issue with the board.
But yes, I´ve done it again with the same result.
There are no bent pins, neither the CS nor the backboard.

Ok with it disconnected.. can you use a multimeter in resistance mode and probe the following points to measure their resistance.
1. Put pot dial into the MIDDLE
2. Measure from point A to B
3. Measure from point A to C
4. Measure from point B to C
