Dual Axis Analog Joystick Module with push button function

Dual Axis Joystick with push-button function.

The joystick module has two 10k Ohm potentiometers to read the X and Y angle. The potentiometers are connected as voltage dividers between GND and supply voltage. Their middle position (joystick neutral position) delivers half of the supply voltage to the analog output pins. Therefore, on a 5V supply, the voltage on X and Y output is 2.5V in the neutral position.

The output voltage can be read through the analog inputs of a microcontroller, to move a cursor on a display, to switch through a menu, or to control your Pacman or Snake game.
