Description

The KY-023 Analog Joystick Module is a versatile input device designed for use with microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other embedded systems. It features dual-axis movement detection, functioning like two potentiometers that provide independent analog voltage outputs for both the horizontal (X-axis) and vertical (Y-axis) directions. Additionally, the module includes a built-in digital "Select" switch, which can be activated by pressing the joystick. This compact and easy-to-use module is ideal for various applications, including retro gaming consoles, robot navigation systems, remote-controlled (RC) vehicles, and other interactive projects. Its smooth and precise analog response, combined with compatibility across various platforms, makes it an excellent choice for hobbyists and professionals alike.

With an operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, the KY-023 is well-suited for modern electronics projects, offering high sensitivity, durability, and ease of integration. Whether you're designing a custom game controller, a robotics interface, or a creative DIY project, the KY-023 delivers reliable performance and straightforward functionality.

 

Features:

  1. Dual-Axis Control: Functions like two potentiometers connected, Provides independent analog signals for the X-axis and Y-axis movements.
  2. Built-In Select Switch: Includes a digital button that activates when the joystick is pressed, Useful for additional control inputs in projects like gaming or robotics.
  3. High Sensitivity and Precision: Smooth and precise movements due to reliable resistance ranges between 4.4kΩ to 10kΩ.
  4. Compact and Lightweight: Dimensions: 34.0 mm x 26.0 mm x 32.0 mm (L x W x H), Portable and easy to integrate into compact projects.

Pin Name Description Typical Voltage Range Function
1 GND (Ground Pin) Ground connection for the module. 0V Provides a common reference point for the circuit.
2 5V (5V Pin) Power supply for the joystick module. 5V Supplies power to the joystick.
3 VRX (X-axis Output) Analog output voltage proportional to the joystick's x-axis position. 0V to 5V Varies with horizontal movement.
4 VRY (Y-axis Output) Analog output voltage is proportional to the joystick's y-axis position. 0V to 5V Varies with vertical movement.
5 SW (Switch Pin) The digital signal pin activated when the joystick is pressed down. 0V (pressed) / 5V (released) Detects joystick button press.
