Can someone please tell me what this schematic symbol is? I thought maybe it was a polyfuse or a variable potentiometer but I can’t find anything in kicad like this that has 3 points to connect to.
That’s a trim pot!
Though judging from this schematic, it’s used as a regular potentiometer.

R_POT_TRIM is what is in Kicad
I am not seeing any other potentiometer in this schematic so I think that you’re right @TimMJN in that they are using this as a regular potentiometer since I know this circuit has 2 potentiometers in it. I just have never seen one with 3 connection points and the arrow like this before.
@twinturbo I did look up the R_POT_TRIM in kicad (see image) but it doesn’t look anything like this other symbol. So it’s confusing to me.
How would I connect these to this trim potentiometer symbol? Would I connect the numbers listed in green on the image to the numbers in the symbol?
Since this is an attenuator, the other way around. Pin 1 on the potentiometer symbol is the fully counterclockwise or 0 position. So you want that one to connect to GND.
Cheers!
Yep, looks good to me!
