JOY-IT COM-5WS modulo joystick analogico con pulsante

Adding analog joystick control to microcontroller projects often requires complex wiring and additional components. The JOY-IT COM-5WS solves this by providing a compact, ready-to-use module that combines a two-axis analog joystick with an integrated push button on a single PCB.

Who is it for

This module is ideal for hobbyists, students, and developers working with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, or other microcontrollers who need intuitive directional input for games, robot navigation, menu selection, or user interfaces.

Main features

• Two analog axes (X and Y) with 10 kOhm potentiometers for precise position sensing
• Integrated push button (SW) activated by pressing down on the joystick
• Simple 5-pin header interface: VCC, GND, VRx, VRy, SW
• Wide operating voltage range: 3.3V to 5V DC
• Compact PCB dimensions: 34 x 26 mm, with two mounting holes

Specifications

• Joystick type: Analog
• Number of axes: 2 (X, Y)
• Integrated button: Yes (push button on stick)
• Output signals: VRx (analog X), VRy (analog Y), SW (digital button)
• Operating voltage: 3.3V - 5V DC
• Interface: 5-pin header
• Pinout: VCC, GND, VRx, VRy, SW
• Potentiometer resistance: 10 kOhm
• PCB dimensions: 34 x 26 mm
• Overall dimensions: 34 x 26 x 32 mm (approx.)
• Mounting holes: Yes (2 holes, approx. 3mm diameter)
• Color: Blue PCB, black joystick
• Analog output range: 0V to VCC
• Button output logic: Active low (pulls to GND when pressed)

Tips

Connect the module to your microcontroller's analog inputs for X and Y, and a digital input for the button. Use the mounting holes to secure the joystick in your enclosure. For smooth control, consider adding a small dead zone in your code around the center position.
