JoyStick Module -Arduino Compatible
On the principle, the control rod can be considered that it is organized by the two potentiometer and a button :
Two of the input value of potentiometer are respectively to show the user offset in the X and Y axis, and the type of offset is analog；the button is used to show whether the user push down button in the Z axis, its type is the digital quantity. Therefore the control rod contain a total of three input interface which are used to connect X, Y, and Z:
When using, it can connect with Arduino sensor shield,and connect Arduino corresponding pins through Arduino sensor cables. In the example below, the X axes and Y axes are respectively link to the analog input A1 and A0 ,and Z axis is connected to the digital I/O 7 pin:
The corresponding code shown below
int sensorPin = 5;
int value = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
value = analogRead(0);
Serial.print("X:");
Serial.print(value, DEC);
value = analogRead(1);
Serial.print(" | Y:");
Serial.print(value, DEC);
value = digitalRead(7);
Serial.print(" | Z: ");
Serial.println(value, DEC);
delay(100);
}
Referring Sample Code :
int JoyStick_X = 0; //x
int JoyStick_Y = 1; //y
int JoyStick_Z = 3; //key
void setup()
{
pinMode(JoyStick_X, INPUT);
pinMode(JoyStick_Y, INPUT);
pinMode(JoyStick_Z, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600); // 9600 bps
}
void loop()
{
int x,y,z;
x=analogRead(JoyStick_X);
y=analogRead(JoyStick_Y);
z=digitalRead(JoyStick_Z);
Serial.print(x ,DEC);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(y ,DEC);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.println(z ,DEC);
delay(100);
}
