How to Use a Joystick with Arduino: Wiring and Basic Controls
Ғылым және технология
In this PART 1 of our Arduino Joystick series, learn how to connect an analog joystick to an Arduino Uno. I'll guide you through the wiring process and explain how the joystick's X and Y values determine its position. You'll also discover how to use these values to control other Arduino components effectively. From building robots you can directly maneuver to creating interactive games, this tutorial will help you get started with joysticks for your Arduino projects.

Ma’am…. I have watched sooooo many tutorials on arduino and they’re either soo dry and boring, to fast too slow but this… THIS, is the first time I actually understand and can follow! Can’t wait till the next vid!
You are such a natural and effective teacher! I am FINALLY understanding Arduino. Thank you SO much!
You are such a great lecturer, tutor and mentor. I need to learn Arduino!
I'm recent college grad, and I really like your channel! Now that I'm out of school, I need little projects to occupy my free time, and your channel has been so helpful for that 😊
Best day ever, new Arduino video from Rachel!

I have been using joysticks for 8 yrs and just released there's an x and y next to the vr, wow i feel dumb, so much for that Stanford Engineering degree from 1992. WOW, i always play your videos in my workshop in the background, since i'm very retired now, and i had to go back and see that.
About time you did another arduino lesson! 😂😂
This is wonderful. Giving me so many possibilities ❤

Very good. Lotsa detail that I need. Thank you
Works like a Swiss watch, thanks for the instructions. 👌
ขอบคุณมากครับกับสาระดีๆ❤❤❤
Great job Rachel

hi there Rachel I want to ask is it possible to add the joystick to a arduino cnc shield to control x and y
Why don't you use VREF to grt an accurate reference for the analogs? As you have it now you will get different analog values if you add some loads to VCC.
It is "cleaner" to perform a single "Serial.printf("X: %i | Y: %i | Button: %i ",xVal,yVal,buttonState);". It's not important in this case because you don't really care about timings (you even put a delay(100)!), but the story is slightly different when you're triggering interrupts (especially with the button). By the way, is your button debounced, or is it "raw"?
She is so pretty, awesome tech advise!
Please Rachel could you experiment with an arduino or raspberry objects recognition from a camera like in modern cars ?😊

I have a RC transmitter with an analog joystick. It has 3 pots.. X, Y, and rotate
One of cool parts of the joyknob is that the code can be used on a better joystick, right?
