How To Connect Arduino Joystick In Arduino Uno

Introduction

 

In this article, I am going to explain how to connect Arduino joystick in Arduino Uno. I am going to execute how the joystick will work with Arduino.

 

Parts of lists

• Arduino Uno
• Arduino joystick
• Hook-Up wires.

Parts Explanation

 

Arduino joystick

• Arduino joystick is a device that can be used to measure the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis direction. It is also called the game console. It can be considered as a combination of a potentiometer and one button.

Connection

• Connection to Arduino and Arduinojoystick.
• Connect Vcc of joystick pin to the 5v of Arduino Uno.
• Connect Gnd of joystick pin to the Gnd of Arduino Uno.
• Connect I Rx of joystick pin to the 0 of Arduino Uno.
• Connect I RY Vcc of joystick pin to the 1 of Arduino Uno.
• Connect SW of joystick pin to the 2 of Arduino Uno.

Programming

Count int SW - Pin = 2;
Count intX - Pin = 0;
Count intY - Pin = 1;
Void Setup() {
    PinMode(SW - Pin.INPUT);
    digitalwrite(SW - Pin, HIGH);
    Serial.begin(115200);
}
Void loop() {
    Serial.print("Switch: ");
    Serial.Print(4 digitalread(sw - pin));
    Serial.print(\n);
    Serial.print("X-axis: ");
    Serial.print(analogread(X - axis));
    Serial.print("Y-axis: ");
    Serial.print(analogread(Y - axis));
    Serial.print("\n\n");
    delay(500);
}

Explanation

• Joystick can show the direction i.e. the movement, which we had given, then it will show in the Serial monitor at what direction it was moving.
• Subsequently, it can be used for major realtime projects like using truck and traffic signal direction, etc.
