This is Joystick module 2 axis analog PS2 breakout sensor very similar to the ‘analog’ joysticks on PS2 (PlayStation 2) controllers. Directional movements are simply two potentiometers – one for each axis. Pots are ~10k each. This joystick also has a select button that is actuated when the joystick is press down.

• Fully assembled
• Ready to use
• No need of wiring or soldering
• Simple plug and play
• Best with Arduino

With the help of this Joystick Module, you can measure position coordinates on the X and Y axis by moving the “hat”. It also contains a switch that is press-able by pushing the “hat”. It also contains a switch that is press-able by pushing the “hat” down. Similar to the XBOX controller.

The X and Y axes are two 10k potentiometers which control 2D movement by generating analog signals.

Applications:

• As square wave signal generator which generates a square wave signal
• To provide a signal to the stepping motor driver
• Adjustable pulse generation for chip use
• Produce variable pulse signal, the control-related circuit (PWM dimming, speed)

Module Description:

Frequency is divided into three ranges:

• XXX (no decimal point):the smallest unit is 1Hz,the range 1Hz-999Hz
• XX.X (decimal point in ten): The minimum unit is 0.1Khz; the range of 0.1KHz-99.9KHz
• X.X.X.(there is three decimal point): the smallest unit is 1Khz; the range 1KHz-150KHz

Frequency Display Example:

• ”100″ indicates that the PWM output pulse of 100Hz
• ”54.1″ indicates that the PWM output pulse of 54.1KHz
• ”1.2.4.” Indicates that the PWM pulse output 124KHz
• Duty Cycle in the range:0 to 100
• Three frequencies duty cycle is the same, all the parameters non-volatile

Specifications and Features:

• Dimensions: 40 x 27 x 15 (LxWxH) mm
• Weight: 10gm (without Hat).
• 2.54mm pin interface leads
• Operating Voltage: 5V.
• Long service life and stable performance
• Standard interface and electronic building blocks
• Widely use in Arduino DIY projects
• Cross rocker as a two-way 10K resistor, with the rocker in a different direction.

Package Includes:

1 x JoyStick Module PS2 Breakout Sensor + Knob Hat
