2-Axis analog Joystick The connection of Arduino controller to joystick sensors and button is very simple as shown in the layout diagram. As stated, The joystick can be moved in two dimensions ...

The joystick x-axis is attached to Arduino pin A0 and the y-axis to Arduino A1, and these are our INPUT. The x- and y-axes are then set as variables for movement.

An Arduino micro reads the sensors and converts the analog signal to USB. The Arduino Joystick Library by [Matthew Heironimus] formats the data into something a PC can understand.

Arduino announced today a new controller, the Esplora, which includes more prebuilt features and could be a step for Arduino toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.
