Arduino joystick shield JOYSTICK SHIELD

The JOYSTICK SHIELD module is a board with a joystick and 6 buttons. This module allows you to exchange information with a personal computer by pressing buttons and moving the axis of the gamepad. The joystick shield for Arduino can have the same functionality as the gamepad of game consoles. The JOYSTICK SHIELD module can be used to control robots, servos, and other mechanisms.

The joystick of the module consists of a button and 2 potentiometers that determine the X and Y axes. The built-in button is activated when the gamepad is pressed. Moving the knob changes the resistance of the potentiometers, which changes the output voltage. Thanks to the spring in the design of the gamepad, the position of the joystick smoothly returns to its original central state after releasing it from any position. Using the gamepad, you can smoothly track deviations from the center point. Also on the board there are 6 tact buttons, 4 of which are equipped with pushers.

Connecting the module to the Arduino board:

A0: X axis connection
A1: Y axis connection
D2: button A connection
D3: button B connection
D4: button C connection
D5: D button connection
D6: E button connection
D7: F button connection
D8: K button connection
The JOYSTICK SHIELD module is connected to the Arduino platform by surface mounting. The board has a bus for connecting the NRF24L01 radio module. There are also connectors for connecting a Nokia 5110 graphical LCD display and a BlueTooth module. Sensors can be connected to the module board using the I2C bus.

Power is supplied from the Arduino board or other microcontroller device. The board has a jumper that allows you to set the module supply voltage (3.3 V or 5 V).

When connecting the NRF24L01 wireless module, you need to download the library and then install it manually.
