Large robot servo controller with VESC, how to set up position control

Hello,

I am struggling to set up position control using a POT.

Specifically we have a large robot with steering. The steering is done with a large brushless motor with a gearbox. Attached to the gearbox is a multi-turn encoder. Specifically this POT:

Now I want to set up the VESC so it is controlling the position of the steering in closed loop like a giant servo, but couldn't find any instructions on how to do this. Any suggestions?
