Demo: Adafruit 2-Axis Thumb Joystick
The Analog 2-axis Thumb Joystick allows you to easily mount a PSP/Xbox-like thumb joystick to your project. Using analog pins, the BeagleBone will read and determine both the X and Y axis. The joystick also includes an extra digital input that will let you read the switch.
The console will output both the x-axis and y-axis with readings from 0-100, with (50,50) being the center location.Example
Build and execute instructions
- Connect the "VCC" pin from the joystick to P9_32 of the BeagleBone.
- Connect the "VER" pin from the joystick to P9_38 of the BeagleBone.
- Connect the "HOR" pin from the joystick to P9_36 of the BeagleBone.
- Connect the "SEL" pin from the joystick to P9_42 of the BeagleBone.
- Connect the "GND" pin from the joystick to P9_34 of the BeagleBone.
- Click "Run" on the code and it will output both the x and y axis, with 50,50 being the center.
