I have started this joystick controller experiment inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could deliver greater flexibility in the possible designs. Hardware component basis is very ...

The outputs from the potentiometers are analog, so they can have a value ... Connect the GND from the joystick module to the Arduino GND rail, and +5V to the Arduino +5V rail.

The original joystick is a fairly straightforward device, comprised of two analog potentiometers ... eventually evolved to hold an Arduino Pro Mini, a digital potentiometer, and a connector ...

Most joysticks measure position mechanically using potentiometers or encoders ... reads the sensors and converts the analog signal to USB. The Arduino Joystick Library by [Matthew Heironimus ...

Arduino’s brand-new Esplora microcontroller ... a videogame controller — it even features push-buttons and an analog joystick. But although it is preprogrammed with a game-controller ...
