Connect and Use Joystick With Arduino
by BlueMatter
A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the
device it is controlling.
Joysticks are often used whith Arduino to control robots.

Step 2: Step 2: Connect Joystick Module to an Arduino Uno
Joistic Module----Arduino
wire yellow y--------pin A0
wire brown x--------pin A1
wire wite bt----------pin 8
wire red vcc---------5v
wire black gnd------gnd
Step 3: Step 3: Connect Led to Arduino

Step 4: Step 4:THE CODE
Connect and Use Joystick With Arduino: Page 3
int UD = 0; pinMode(LEFT, OUTPUT);
int LR = 0; pinMode(RT, OUTPUT);
/* Arduino Micro output pins*/ digitalWrite(DWN, HIGH);
int DWN = 13; digitalWrite(UP, HIGH);
int UP = 12; digitalWrite(LEFT, HIGH);
int LEFT = 11; digitalWrite(RT, HIGH);
int RT = 10; //calabrate center
/*Arduino Micro Input Pins */ LRMID = analogRead(ILR);
int IUP=A0; UPMID = analogRead(IUP); }
int ILR=A1; void loop(){
int MID = 10; // 10 mid point delta arduino, use 4 for UD = analogRead(IUP);
attiny
LR = analogRead(ILR);
int LRMID = 0;
// UP-DOWN
int UPMID = 0;
if(UD < UPMID - MID){
void setup(){
digitalWrite(DWN, HIGH);
pinMode(DWN, OUTPUT);
}else{
pinMode(UP, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(DWN, LOW);
if(UD > UPMID + MID)
{ digitalWrite(UP, HIGH);
}else{
digitalWrite(UP, LOW);
} // LEFT-RIGHT
if(LR < LRMID - MID){
digitalWrite(LEFT, HIGH);

}else{
digitalWrite(LEFT, LOW);
if(LR > LRMID + MID){
digitalWrite(RT, HIGH);
}else{
digitalWrite(RT, LOW);
delay(400);
have you been able to make it work with the joystick button as well?
