Description

Add a tiny joystick to your project with this thumb joystick PSP. It is a replacement component for PSP1000, but we think it will make an excellent little joystick / thumbstick for a portable or e-textile project.

The joystick is of the analogical "self-centering"type. This means that it acts essentially as two 10K potentiometers, one for up/down and one for left/right. Connect a VCC pin to your power supply (3 or 5V) and the ground pin to earth. Then read the remaining two pins with an analog pin. When the joystick is moved, the tension will follow the movement. When you release the joystick, it will refocus. There are 4 tpads to be welded on the back, you can weld 4 wires on these pins, then glue it to avoid any problem.
