Arduino uno Joystick

This project demonstrates how to monitor joystick inputs using analog readings from the X and Y axes.

Based on predefined threshold values, the program detects commands for left, right, up, and down movements of the joystick.

Components Needed

• Arduino Board
• Joystick Module
• Jumper Wires
• Breadboard

Block Diagram

Hardware Wiring Explanation:

Connect the joystick module to the Arduino board using jumper wires.

Ensure the connections are correctly made, with the X axis connected to pin A0 and the Y axis connected to pin A1.

Software (Arduino IDE):

Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.

Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.

Upload the code to the Arduino Uno.

Monitor the Output:

Open the serial monitor with a baud rate of 9600. Read Joystick Inputs:

Continuously read the analog values from the X and Y axes of the joystick module.

Detect Movement Commands:

Compare the analog values to predefined threshold values to determine joystick movements.

If the value falls below the left threshold, it indicates a left movement command. If it exceeds the right threshold, it indicates a right movement command.

Similarly, for the Y axis, values below the up threshold indicate an up movement command, and values above the down threshold indicate a down movement command.

Print Detected Commands:

Print the detected commands to the Serial Monitor based on joystick movements.

Applications

Notes

Adjust threshold values according to the sensitivity of the joystick and the desired responsiveness of the system.
