Joystick Shield for Arduino

Joystick Shield for Arduino

The Joystick Shield for Arduino is a multifunctional expansion board that you can use with development boards in the Arduino® ecosystem, making your work much easier in both remote control (RC) and gaming (gamepad) applications.

There is a two-axis joystick with a button feature, 4 large and 2 small control buttons on the board.
In addition, there are special pin slots on the shield where you can directly connect the NRF24L01 2.4GHz Transceiver Module. This way, you can easily make the joystick shield wireless.
Thanks to the built-in switch on the board, you can select the logic voltage level of the hardware as 3.3V or 5V according to your needs.

The pins to which the joystick and buttons on the board are connected are listed below.
In addition, the external outputs of all units on the shield are located as headers in a separate section on the board. This way, the module can easily be used with different systems.

Pin Connections:

• Joystick X Axis: AN0
• Joystick Y Axis: AN1
• Button A: D2
• Button B: D3
• Button C: D4
• Button D: D5
• Button E: D6
• Button F: D7
• Joystick Button (KEY): D8

Note: The PCB color of the sold board is Red.
Note 2: The pin order of the Nokia 5110 Display on our site and the 5110 connector on this board are different. For this reason, the display cannot be used by plugging it directly into the board; however, the connection can easily be made externally using jumper wires.
