Introduction
This joystick is very similar to the ‘analog’ joysticks on PS2 (PlayStation 2) controllers. Directional movements are simply associated with two potentiometers - one for each axis. POTs are approximately 10kΩ each. This joystick also has a select button that is actuated when the joystick is pressed down. Elint Labz has built a plug using this joystick and it can be mounted anywhere using screws.

Details
Joystick plug is a analog input device to the interfacing system. It has a interfacing port with five pins named as G, V, X, Y & D. Here G represents Ground , V represents VCC, X and Y represents the data pins. X gives the Horizontal movement values of Joystick and Y gives the vertical movement values of Joystick. D pin of the plug is not used in this PCB run. ● When the joystick is in the center position both X & Y data pins give middle values i.e., 512. ● When the joystick is at extreme left position X data pin gives 1023 value. ● When the joystick is at extreme right position X data pin gives 0 value. ● When the joystick is at extreme top position Y data pin gives 1023 value. ● When the joystick is at extreme bottom position Y data pin gives 0 value.

How to interface?
Use 4-4A interfacing cables to connect this plug to the controller board. If 4-4A cable is to be used then any end of the cable can be connected to the Joystick plug. Always ensure that black wire of the cable is connected to the G pin on both ends. In the below given pictures you can see 4-4A cable is used to connect Joystick plug to the Pluguino Board. The data pins of the Joystick plug are connected to the A0 and A1 GPIO pin on the controller board.

In this example we are going read x-axis and y-axis values from the joystick plug and display it on the serial terminal.
Example Codes Arduino #define X A0 #define Y A1 unsigned int a; unsigned int b;
// // // //
use A0 pin to read X axis values use A1 pin to read Y axis values variable to store X axis values variable to store Y axis values
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // initialize serial transfer at 9600 bps } void loop() { a = analogRead(X); // reading the values in horizontal direction b = analogRead(Y); // reading the value in vertical direction Serial.print(“X= “); // printing string Serial.print(a); // print X values in serial monitor Serial.print("\t"); // printing spaces Serial.print(“Y= “); // printing string Serial.println(b); // print Y values in serial monitor Output video: https://youtu.be/5hToz-H2XsY
