Hardware Required

You will require the following Hardware Components for interfacing the KY-023 Dual Axis Joystick module with arduino.

What is the KY-023 Dual Axis Joystick module?

The KY-023 Dual Axis Joystick module is an electronic component that consists of two potentiometers and a button. The module is mounted on a PCB board and can be used to control the movement of objects in two directions. By moving the joystick in different directions, the potentiometers generate analog signals that can be read by a microcontroller or other electronic components.

Specifications

The module is composed of two 10kΩ potentiometers positioned perpendicularly to allow control over the X and Y axes by altering the resistance when the joystick is moved. Additionally, there is a push button that is triggered when the joystick is pressed down along the Z axis. The module is equipped with 5 male header pins.

Features

1. Dual-axis control for precise movement
2. Simple and easy-to-use interface
3. Affordable and widely available
4. Built-in button for additional functionality
5. Compatible with a range of microcontrollers
