How It Works / কীভাবে কাজ করে

The joystick contains two internal potentiometers. When you move the joystick left-right or up-down, the resistance changes and the module gives different analog voltage values from VRx and VRy pins. Arduino or another controller reads these values using analog input pins.

Joystick press করলে SW pin button input হিসেবে কাজ করে।

Joystick-এর ভিতরে দুইটি potentiometer থাকে। Joystick left-right বা up-down move করলে analog voltage change হয়। Arduino সেই value read করে direction বা speed control করতে পারে।

Basic Arduino Connection

For Arduino UNO:

• GND → Arduino GND
• +5V → Arduino 5V
• VRx → Arduino A0
• VRy → Arduino A1
• SW → Arduino D2

For ESP32:

• GND → ESP32 GND
• VCC → ESP32 3.3V recommended
• VRx → ESP32 analog pin
• VRy → ESP32 analog pin
• SW → ESP32 digital pin

Arduino Example Code

Use this code to test X-axis, Y-axis and button press.

#define VRX_PIN A0
#define VRY_PIN A1
#define SW_PIN 2

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(SW_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {
  int xValue = analogRead(VRX_PIN);
  int yValue = analogRead(VRY_PIN);
  int buttonState = digitalRead(SW_PIN);

  Serial.print("X: ");
  Serial.print(xValue);

  Serial.print(" | Y: ");
  Serial.print(yValue);

  Serial.print(" | Button: ");
  if (buttonState == LOW) {
    Serial.println("Pressed");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Released");
  }

  delay(200);
}

Example Output Meaning

For Arduino UNO:

• X-axis value near 0 means one side direction
• X-axis value near 1023 means opposite side direction
• Y-axis value near 0 means one side direction
• Y-axis value near 1023 means opposite side direction
• Center position is usually around 512
• Button shows Pressed when joystick knob is pushed down

Values may vary slightly depending on module batch and joystick center position.
