SparkFun Joystick Shield Add-On Kit for Arduino ~ Retired ~ DEV-09760

The SparkFun Joystick Shield Kit contains all the parts you need to enable your Arduino with a joystick! The shield sits on top of your Arduino and turns it into a simple controller. This is an add-on kit; Arduino not included.

Assembly is required. Soldering is required, but it's relatively easy and requires minimal tools. Tutorials are available on the SparkFun website.

Five momentary push buttons (4+ joystick select button) and a two-axis thumb joystick gives your Arduino functionality on the level of old Nintendo controllers.

The momentary push buttons are connected to Arduino digital pins 2-6; when pressed they will pull the pin low (utilizing the internal pull-ups of the Arduino). Vertical movement of the joystick will produce a proportional analog voltage on analog pin 0, likewise, horizontal movement of the joystick can be tracked on analog pin 1.

This product is the entire kit and contains the following items:

1x Joystick Shield PCB

4x Momentary Push Button Switch - 12mm Square

1x Thumb Joystick

1x Mini Push Button Switch (breaks out Arduino's reset switch)

2x 6-pin Arduino Stackable Header

2x 8-pin Arduino Stackable Header
