Gorillacell Module 034: Joystick
Table of Contents
The Joystick is essentially composed of two potentiometers arranged perpendicularly to detect horizontal (X-axis) and vertical (Y-axis) movements. By varying the resistance in each axis, it provides analog input signals corresponding to the direction and magnitude of movement. It is commonly used in game controllers, robotics, and control interfaces.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one Joystick module for experimenting with directional input control and analog movement detection.

PINOUT
It has 4 pins which are
- G - for the ground pin,
- V - for the supply voltage,
- X - for determining the analog value of the horizontal position, and
- Y - for determining the analog value of the vertical position.
An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral will be used in order to determine the Joystick.
