Joystick JH-D202X-R2 (5Kohm) 2-dimensional potentiometer sealed pan-tilt controller for film and television photography

Joystick JH-D202X-R2 (5Kohm) 2-dimensional potentiometer sealed pan-tilt controller for film and television photography

DESCRIPTION

This large panel mounted Joystick provides a nice finished look as well as finer 2-Axis control than is possible with a standard thumb joystick.

PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• JH-D202X-R2/R4 Joystick 5K

KEY FEATURES OF JH-D202X-R2/R4 JOYSTICK 5K:

• Large panel mounted assembly with nice finished look.
• 2-Axis analog outputs based on the X and Y position of the joystick
• 5K ohm X/Y potentiometers with solder type connections
• 3.3 and 5V compatible

Typical applications include controlling remote motorized vehicles, motorized cameras, factory automation and electric wheelchairs.

Joystick Operation

The module includes two spring loaded 5K potentiometers that provide X and Y analog outputs which can be input to two analog inputs on an MCU.

The analog inputs on an MCU typical read values over a range of 0-1023 (for standard 10-bit ADC inputs like on most Arduino).  The X-Axis and Y-Axis outputs from the Joystick should read around 512 (midpoint) when the control is at rest.  As the joystick is moved, one or both of the outputs will register higher or lower values depending on how the control is being moved.  When the joystick is released, it is spring-loaded and will return to center.
