In this particular lesson We'll explain how to hook up a Joystick. The simplest way to think of a joystick is to think about it as two impartial potentiometer. Moving the joystick remaining and proper adjustments Analog Joystick one potentiometer, and going the joystick up and down adjustments one other potentiometer. Also, pressing the knob about the joystick will activate a simple on/off change. On this video clip we show you how to hook the joystick up, after which you can teach you code that will enable you to go through in the potentiometers plus the swap.

Overview:

Analog joysticks are a great way to insert some control inside your tasks. In this tutorial

We're going to learn the way to make use of the analog joystick module. Element Necessary:

1 x ZY UNO R3

1 x Joystick module

five x F-M wires (Female to Male DuPont wires)

Element Introduction

Joystick

The module has 5 pins: VCC, Ground, X, Y, Important. Notice the labels on yours might be

a little bit different, depending on in which you received the module from. The thumb stick is

analog and may provide a lot more correct readings than uncomplicated ‘directional’ joysticks

tact use some forms of buttons, or mechanical switches. Moreover, you could push

the joystick down (rather tricky on mine) to activate a ‘press to pick out’ thrust-button. We need to use analog Arduino pins to read the information from the X/Y pins, along with a electronic

pin to read through the button. The Key pin is linked to ground, if the joystick is

pressed down, and is also floating otherwise. To acquire stable readings from the Key /Select

pin, it should be linked to VCC by means of a pull-up resistor. The inbuilt resistors on

the Arduino electronic pins can be employed.
