KEY FEATURES OF FUNDUINO JOYSTICK SHIELD:

  • 2-Axis joystick
  • 4 large buttons
  • 2 small buttons
  • Bluetooth / Serial interface
  • I2C interface
  • nRF24L01 interface
  • Nokia 5110 LCD interface
  • Interface connector
  • Power switch to switch between 3.3 and 5V

2-Axis Joystick:

The X-Axis potentiometer of the joystick is connected toĀ A0.Ā  The Y-Axis potentiometer is connected toĀ A1.Ā  The analog inputs on a microcontroller read values over a range of 0-1023 (for typical 10-bit ADC inputs).Ā  The X-Axis and Y-Axis controls should read around 512 (midpoint) when the control is at rest.Ā  As the joystick is moved, one or both of the controls will register higher or lower values depending on how the control is being moved. The joystick also has a button ā€˜Kā€™ which is activated by pressing the joystick down.Ā  This button is connected toĀ D8.

Buttons:

There are a total of 6 buttons on the board (not including the one on the joystick) labeled A-F.Ā  Ā The 4 large buttons are typically used for up/down/left/right or similar functions.Ā  The two smaller buttons are typically used for less commonly used functions such as ā€˜selectā€™ or ā€˜startā€™ since they are less accessible / less likely to be pressed accidentally.Ā  All buttons have pull-up resistors and pull to ground when pressed.

  • Button A ā€“ Connects toĀ D2
  • Button B ā€“ Connects toĀ D3
  • Button C ā€“ Connects toĀ D4
  • Button D ā€“ Connects toĀ D5
  • Button E ā€“ Connects toĀ D6
  • Button F ā€“ Connects toĀ D7

Bluetooth Connector:

TheĀ RX/TXĀ lines are brought out to a separate 4-pin female header along with 3.3V and Ground.Ā  This can be used for connecting a 4-pin 3.3V Bluetooth device or a TTL serial device.

I2C Connector:

The I2CĀ SDAĀ andĀ SCLĀ lines are brought out to a separate 4-pin male header along with 5V and Ground.Ā  This is in addition to the normalĀ A4/A5Ā location of these lines.Ā  This allows for easy attachment of I2C devices.

nRF24L01 Connector:

This connector allows an nRF24L01 RF transceiver module to be plugged in.
