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.
