We will use Linux or OSX to program the Arduino's main processor and also the atmega16u2 (the programmer). The atmega16u2 chip allows us to use the Arduino as a USB HID device. Connect your Arduino to ...

I have started this joystick controller experiment inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could deliver greater flexibility in the possible designs. Hardware component basis is very ...

The Joystick module is similar to analog joysticks found in gamepads. It is made by mounting two potentiometers at a 90 degrees angle. The potentiometers are connected to a short stick centered by ...

This project uses an Arduino, joystick, servo motor, LCD display, buzzer, red and blue LEDs to monitor joystick activity and detect prolonged inactivity. The system starts in Safe Mode, where: The ...

In this project, we create a joystick-controlled laser by connecting two servos to a joystick and using this setup as a pan-and-tilt controller for a laser pointer. The following is excerpted from the ...

Arduino’s brand-new Esplora microcontroller, packed with prebuilt sensors and features, could indicate a move for the DIY electronics company toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.
