Using a Joystick

Now that we know what a joystick is and how it works we can create a small circuit that includes one.

Key Objectives

In this project, you will:

•Wire a circuit to include a joystick

• Document what happens when the joystick moves

1. Explore phase

Someone wants you to make them a circuit with a joystick that could be used for a video game.

2. Create phase

Using an Arduino, Jumper Wires and a joystick, create the following circuit.

Once the circuit is made create the following code to go with it.

3. Share phase

Document what happens when the joystick is moved around to various positions
