Description

Small board with a PCB-mount joystick very similar to the one used in the PS2 (PlayStation 2) controller. The directional movements (up, down, right and left) come from the change in resistance of two 10 kohm potentiometers, one for each axis. It also has a button that operates when the joystick is pressed down. When the joystick is not moved (centre position) the output voltage is 0V; when it is moved, the output varies from 2.5 V to 5V depending on the direction. Particularly suitable for building robot controllers. Dimensions (mm): 40x26x32, weight: 8 grams.
