πΉ What It Is
A 2-axis analog joystick module functions like a miniature game controller stick.
It provides X-axis and Y-axis readings as analog voltages that represent the position of the joystick.
Often comes with a push-button function when pressing down the joystick vertically.
πΉ Key Features
Dual-axis: Can detect motion along X-axis (left/right) and Y-axis (up/down).
Push-button function: Pressing the stick down triggers a digital signal (optional, most modules have it).
Analog outputs: Typically outputs a voltage between 0β5V depending on the position.
Compact size: Usually ~35 mm Γ 35 mm PCB.
Mountable: Comes with pins for breadboard or direct wiring to microcontrollers.
πΉ Pinout
A standard joystick module usually has 5 pins:
Pin Function Description
VCC Power supply 3.3Vβ5V DC
GND Ground Connect to system ground
VRx X-axis analog output Varies 0β5V as joystick moves left/right
VRy Y-axis analog output Varies 0β5V as joystick moves up/down
SW Switch / button Digital output: LOW when pressed, HIGH when released
πΉ Working Principle
Potentiometer-based sensing
The joystick contains two potentiometers (one for each axis).
Moving the stick changes resistance β changes voltage output along X or Y.
Analog reading
Microcontroller reads these voltages using ADC pins (e.g., Arduino analogRead).
Button press
Pressing the stick connects the switch pin to ground, giving a digital LOW signal.
πΉ Applications
Robotics control β controlling motors, servos, or robotic arms.
RC vehicles / drones β navigation input.
Gaming projects β building DIY game controllers.
Cursor or GUI control β interfacing with displays or software.
Analog input experiments β learning about ADC and potentiometers.
πΉ Advantages
Simple, inexpensive, widely available.
Provides smooth, continuous analog control.
Can detect 2D position + button press with a single module.
