Adafruit PSP 2-Axis Analog Thumb Joystick

Add a tiny joystick to your project with this PSP thumbstick. This replacement component for PSP1000's will serve as a fantastic joystick or thumbstick add-on for wearable or portable projects.

The joystick is a self-centering analog type, functioning like two 10K potentiometers—one for up/down and another for left/right. Connect the VCC pin to your power supply (3V or 5V is optimal) and the ground pin to ground. Read the two remaining pins with an individual analog pin each. As you move the joystick, the voltage will follow the motion, and it will return to the center position when released.

Specifications include 4 pads on the bottom ideal for soldering 4 wires, plus simple integration with microcontrollers. Enhance your projects with precision control and intuitive user interaction using this compact joystick. Perfect for Arduino and other similar systems, explore expanded technical possibilities and creative applications.
