Arduino and joysticks - Part 2 - 3-axis joystick

In this video I will show you a better joystick. This joystick was more expensive, but it is more precise, has better feeling and response, and has larger range of motion. I show you some general ideas about how to understand the potentiometers in these specific circuits/devices.

What is the best way to connect cables to the joystick? Soldering? Crimping? I cant figure out how to do this.

The best thing with this joystick is the two main versions, yours with three axis and other with a button. As you can just drill a hole to that top plate that is attached with two screws. And then mount wanted buttons or hats to it. It is shallow, about 3-4 mm clearing to the thied axis mechanism, but it is enought to get a wanted hat in there with 3D printed base.

The joystick hole has a small hole in the top and root feom the side to pull wires through. They need to be as thin as the third axis ones are, as the holes are so small in diameter.

Which one is cheap and which is expensive? Which should I buy for precision. That 3-axis one you had?

This joystick also comes in 3-axis version with a button on top.

For some reason my 3 axis joysticks aren't pulling down to 0v the closest I can get is .7v when moving those side set this telling me these are broken?

Is it possible send joystick like values from arduino through the joystick of a drone so i control it's movement without touching the joystick?

[isidoromaich]

That joystick is very fancy. In the old days I saw similars on CCUs, the camera controls at television studios, they had also a button in the top, at the time were very expensive

[genkidama]

xeox controller has the same problem as these.

24:30 Whaaat theee heeeck?? (*take a time to think)😅

[deapecunia]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting several of those, but I would need them *not* to return to the center position. Has anyone tried to remove the springs on this model?

Thank you for the great tutorial. I have a four function analog joystick. I’d like to create custom joysticks. You showed a great wiring diagram. I plan to continue to follow along. I do not plan to use an Arduino. I wish to use a Brook Fighting Board. These PCBs have these inputs: VCC, GND, LSB, RSB, LY, LX, RY, and RX. LSB and RSB are the left and right stick button respectively. I certainly need to watch more of your videos. Of course, the Arduino does not use the same labeling on the PCB. How do you suggest I proceed connecting a four axis joystick to an Brook fighting board? Thank you very much for the help.

hi, whats the control box function for? thanks 5:50

When you have it hooked to the LCD and breadboard, and the values are jumping around, what would help make them steady? A resistor or something?
