The Dual-Axis XY Joystick Module is a PS2-style analog joystick breakout board that outputs two independent potentiometer signals for X and Y movement, plus a built-in push-button switch. It’s a popular way to add analog directional control to Arduino, robotics, and RC projects.
Key features:
- Dual-Axis Analog Output: Two 10K potentiometers track X and Y position, ideal for reading with a microcontroller’s analog inputs.
- Integrated Push Button: Pressing down on the stick triggers a built-in momentary switch for an extra input.
- Spring-Centered Stick: Automatically returns to center position when released, for consistent neutral readings.
- Simple 5-Pin Interface: GND, +5V, VRx, VRy, and SW pins connect directly to Arduino or other microcontroller boards.
- Compact Breakout Board: Mounting holes and a small footprint make it easy to fit into robot controllers and custom enclosures.
It’s a go-to input for robot remote controls, camera pan-tilt rigs, and any project that needs smooth, proportional directional control.
