Description:

The module Joystick is a sensor indicates to those that can be found in the games type gamepad controller.

He estcompose of two potentiometers 4.7 k? up to 90 degrees which the sliders are connected on a single axis.

Output: 

This module has 2 analog outputs ranging from 0V to 5V corresponding to travel along the axis of X and Y.

2.5V represents the neutral position of each axis, and 0V and 5V represents each of the ends.

By connecting this module on the analog inputs of an Arduino kit, you can read values between 0 and 1023 corresponding directly to the joystick position.

Description of the module:

At the back of the module, you can find 2 signal amplifiers, a green LED that indicates that the module is correctly powered and two LED yellow is representative of the value of each axis. 

Connections:

This modules can be plugged directly on the TinkerKit Sensor shield using a TinkerKit connection cable.

This module is a SENSOR having a connector of OUTPUT to be connected on a ENTRY of the TinkerKit Sensor Shield.
