Joystick Module (4 Directions)

Overview

Take control of your next project with the Joystick Module (4 Directions) from MOKWN. This compact and versatile input device provides precise analog control in two axes (X and Y) along with a digital push-button switch. Whether you're building a robot, a game controller, or an interactive installation, this joystick module offers an intuitive and responsive interface for your microcontroller projects.

Key Features

• Dual-Axis Analog Control: Outputs variable voltage levels on the X and Y axes, allowing for precise proportional control.
• Integrated Push-Button: Includes a digital switch activated by pressing down on the joystick, adding an extra input option.
• Easy to Interface: Standard analog and digital pins make it compatible with most microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, etc.).
• Compact Design: Lightweight and small footprint, perfect for handheld devices and embedded projects.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand frequent use and repetitive movements.

Technical Specifications

• Operating Voltage: 3.3V - 5V DC
