Concept
A joystick is two potentiometers at 90° plus a push switch.
A little theory
Each axis is a voltage divider ~0–Vcc. Center ≈ Vcc/2. Button is usually active LOW. In the classroom, treat PS2-style Analog Joystick Module as a beginner part using 2× analog + digital button. Typical India street price is about ₹40–₹90. Always verify voltage and pin labels on your exact module — silk screens vary across clones. Start with a datasheet or trusted learn guide, power the part correctly, share GND with the MCU, and test with a simple blink/read sketch before building the full project. Measure voltages with a multimeter when something fails, and keep actuator current off the MCU regulator.
How it works in a project
analogRead(X), analogRead(Y), digitalRead(SW). Calibrate center on startup.
