JOYSTICK MODULE

DESCRIPTION:

Lots of robotic projects need a joystick. This module offers an affordable solution
to that. The Joystick module is similar to analog joysticks found in gamepads. It is made
by mounting two potentiometers at a 90 degrees angle. The potentiometers are
connected to a short stick centered by springs.

This module produces an output of around 2.5V from X and Y when it is in resting
position. Moving the joystick will cause the output to vary from 0v to 5V depending on its
direction. If you connect this module to a microcontroller, you can expect to read a value
of around 512 in its resting position (expect small variations due to tiny imprecisions of
the springs and mechanism) When you move the joystick you should see the values
change from 0 to 1023 depending on its position.
SPECIFICATIONS:

 Directional movements are simply two potentiometers - one for each axis
 Compatible with Arduino interface
 The biaxial XY Joystick Module KY-023 applies ARDUINO
 Dimensions: 1.57 in x 1.02 in x 1.26 in (4.0 cm x 2.6 cm x 3.2 cm)
 5 Pin
 Color: Black

PIN CONFIGURATION:

1. GND: ground

2. +5V: 5V DC

3. VRx: voltage proportional to x position

4. VRy: voltage proportional to y position

5. SW: switch pushbutton
