PS2 Game JoyStick Module

KY-023 Arduino joystick module, it uses a biaxial potentiometer to control the X and Y axis. When pushed down, it activates a switch. Based on the PS2 controller’s joystick, it’s used to control a wide range of projects from RC vehicles to color LEDs.

• Lots of robot projects need joystick.
• This module provides a affordable solution to that.
• Simply connect to two analog inputs,
• the robot is at your commands with X and Y control.
• This can be easily connect to by normal IO Expansion Shield with supplied cables.
• No soldering required.
• Reusable for prototyping or design applications of electronic circuit, modify or revise the circuits easily.

PS2 Game JoyStick Module accept resistors, transistors, diodes, LEDS, capacitors and other types of electronic components.
An invaluable tool for experimenting with circuit designs whether in the R & D.
Directional movements are simply two potentiometers – one for each axis
Compatible with interface
