Wiring & getting started

  1. Match the voltage

    Connect GND and the supply pin marked +5V. Use 5V with a 5V controller, or 3.3V with a 3.3V ADC so the axis signals stay within the controller input range.

  2. Read the controls

    Connect VRx and VRy to analogue inputs. Connect SW to a digital input with a pull-up enabled. On an Arduino UNO R3, use A0, A1 and D2 with INPUT_PULLUP.

  3. Check and calibrate

    Move each axis and check that its reading changes. Press the cap to pull SW low. Measure the centre reading at rest and add a small software dead zone to prevent unwanted movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions buyers ask most.

Will it work with a 3.3V controller?
Yes. Power the module from 3.3V and use analogue-capable inputs for VRx and VRy. The supply pin is marked +5V but this module is specified for 3.3V to 5V operation.
Why does the joystick drift near the centre?
The mechanical centre is approximate. Measure each axis at rest and apply a small dead zone in software.
How do I read the push button?
Connect SW to a digital input with a pull-up enabled. Pressing the cap closes the switch to ground, so a pressed button reads low.

Why Buy from NZN

Useful parts, fair prices and someone local to help.

I'm Lukas, an engineering student and maker based in Te Awamutu. NZN grew out of a CNC build that dragged on for months because every missing cable, bolt or electronic part meant another overseas order. I started the shop so Kiwi makers can spend more time building and less time waiting for the next parcel.
