Parallax 2-Axis Joystick KickStart (#27800)
What It Can Do
• Miniature two-axis analog joystick with up/down and left/right action
• Spring-loaded movement always returns joystick to center position
• Easy plug-in module for use in breadboards and custom circuits
The 2-Axis Joystick provides a simple and convenient way to add X-Y control to a project. A
potentiometer attached to each axis provides proportional feedback of the up/down and left/right
positions. The joystick is spring-loaded, so that it always returns to its centered position when
you release it.
Depending on the microcontroller you use, a small assortment of external components is required
to complete the connection. These are noted in the Parts List. Refer to the appropriate diagram
under Basic Wiring.
