Grove - Thumb Joystick

Description:

The Grove - Thumb Joystick is a Grove-compatible module that is very similar to the 'analog' joystick on PS5 (PlayStation 5) controllers. The X and Y axes are two ~10k potentiometers that control 2D movement by generating analog signals. The joystick also has a push button that could be used for special applications. When the module is in working mode, it will output two analog values, representing two directions. Compared to a normal joystick, its output values are restricted to a smaller range (i.e., 200~800), and only when pressed will the X value be set to 1023, and the MCU can detect the action of pressing.

Features:

Analog Output: Its output values are restricted to a smaller range (i.e., 200~800), and the maximal value will be obtained when the button is pushed.

Supports Wide Voltage: 5V/3.3V Compatible.

Grove Unified Socket: The product ensures "Plug and Play" and could be versatile for various applications.
