Detailed Product Description:

The PS2 Game Joystick Module is a versatile and user-friendly input device, providing a familiar and intuitive interface for a wide range of electronic projects. This dual axis joystick module is modeled after the classic PlayStation 2 controller's analog stick, making it a perfect tool for creating custom gaming interfaces, robot controls, and interactive systems. Its core technical functionality is based on two 10kΩ potentiometers, which are mounted perpendicularly to each other. As the joystick is moved, the resistance of these potentiometers changes, providing continuous analog feedback on both the X and Y axes.

Designed as a breakout sensor, the module provides clean and accessible pins for easy connection to any microcontroller. It typically operates on a 5V power supply, making it directly compatible with popular development boards like the Arduino. The module's outputs are a key feature: the VRx and VRy pins provide analog voltage signals that can be read by your microcontroller to determine the joystick's position. When the joystick is at rest, the output is centered, and as it is moved, the voltage varies proportionally. Additionally, a built-in push-button switch is activated by pressing down on the stick, providing a separate digital input for a 'select' or 'action' function.

Whether you're building a remote-controlled robot, a camera gimbal system, or a simple interactive game, this joystick module simplifies the process of translating human input into actionable data. Its combination of robust analog control and a convenient digital button makes it a fundamental component for any DIY electronics project requiring precise and reliable user control.

The PS2 Joystick Module is a dual-axis analog controller that provides real-time X and Y direction outputs along with a Z-axis digital switch when pressed. Commonly used in game controllers, this module is perfect for creating interactive hardware interfaces in Arduino and embedded electronics projects.

It uses two potentiometers (one per axis) and a momentary push-button. The module connects easily to analog input pins on an Arduino and can be read using the analogRead() function. Whether you're designing a robotic car, a servo control system, or a DIY gaming joystick, this module is a beginner-friendly and affordable solution.
