KY-023: XY-axis joystick

Buy this sensor or kit.

Product description

The company produces PS2 game joystick axis sensor module consists of using original quality metal PS2 joystick potentiometer system For the (X, Y) a 2-axis analog output and for (Z) 1 digital output channel button.

Specifications

The joystick is a combination of 2 analoog potentiometer and a digital switch.

Test

  • Arduino controller × 1
  • USB data cable × 1
  • PS2 Game sensor module × 1

Schematic

  • Arduino GND –> Module pin -
  • Arduino +5V –> Module pin +5V
  • Arduino Analoog 0 –> Module VRx
  • Arduino Analoog 1 –> Module VRy
  • Arduino Digital –> Resistor??–>Module SW you need a resistor, you can use Arduino internal pullup resistor, command ( pinMode(pin, INPUT_PULLUP); ) does the job

Example Code

// Module KY023
int JoyStick_X = A0; // x
int JoyStick_Y = A1; // y
int JoyStick_Z = 3; // key

void setup ()
{
  pinMode (JoyStick_X, INPUT);
  pinMode (JoyStick_Y, INPUT);
  pinMode (JoyStick_Z, INPUT_PULLUP);
  Serial.begin (9600); // 9600 bps
}

void loop ()
{
  int x, y, z;
  x = analogRead (JoyStick_X);
  y = analogRead (JoyStick_Y);
  z = digitalRead (JoyStick_Z);
  Serial.print (x, DEC);
  Serial.print (",");
  Serial.print (y, DEC);
  Serial.print (",");
  Serial.println (z, DEC);
  delay (100);
}
