About this item

The PS2 Joystick Module Breakout Sensor is a compact and versatile input device designed for use in various electronic projects, particularly those involving microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards. This module emulates the analog joysticks found in PlayStation 2 controllers, providing a user-friendly interface for detecting directional movements and button presses. Measuring 34 x 34 x 15 mm and weighing approximately 10 grams without the knob hat, the module features a 2.54mm pin interface for easy integration into breadboards and circuit designs. It operates on a 5V power supply, making it compatible with most standard microcontroller setups. The joystick consists of two 10kΩ potentiometers that control the X and Y axes, allowing for precise 2D movement detection. As the joystick is moved, it generates analog signals that vary between 0V and 5V, providing real-time positional feedback. Additionally, the module includes a built-in push-button switch activated by pressing the joystick down, enabling additional input functionality. This sensor is ideal for applications such as gaming controllers, robotic navigation systems, and interactive user interfaces. Its straightforward design and ease of integration make it a popular choice among hobbyists and professionals alike.
