Interfacing Thumb Joystick With Arduino
In this project, we will employ Thumb joystick with Arduino to perform basic functions of knowing x-y ordinates of its movement.
About Thumb joystick:
Thumb joystick similar to the ‘analog’ joysticks on PlayStation 2 controllers. Directional movements are simply two potentiometers – one for each axis. Potentiometers are of ~10k ohm each. This joystick also has a select button that is actuated when the joystick is pressed down.
Components Required:
- Arduino board 1
- Thumb Joystick 1
- Jumper wires 6
- Breadboard 1
You can buy the above components on elegocart , probably the only place where you find TESTED components. So, quality is assured.
Project Setup:
