Tutorial: How to Use H025 Analog Display Kit with PS2 Joystick

The H025 Analog Display Kit with PS2 Game Joystick is ideal for makers who want to create graphical interfaces and intuitive controls for their Arduino projects. This component combines a 16-character LCD display with a PS2 joystick, making it perfect for both beginners and more experienced creators.

What you need

• Arduino Uno or compatible
• H025 Analog Display Kit
• PS2 Game Joystick
• USB cable
• AA batteries (for the PS2 joystick)
• Arduino IDE software

Steps

1. Connect the display kit to pin 12 of the Arduino for the data signal.
2. Connect the display’s GND and VCC pins to the corresponding power pins of the Arduino.
3. Connect the PS2 joystick communication lines (DAT, CLK) to available digital pins on the Arduino (check the datasheet).
4. Load an Arduino sketch that reads data from the joystick and displays it on the LCD screen.
5. Check the proper functioning of the display and joystick through the Arduino IDE serial monitor.
6. Customize the sketch to add functionalities such as incrementing or decrementing the values displayed on the LCD with the PS2 joystick.

Example code

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // Leggi i dati dal joystick e visualizza su LCD
}

Mini project

Create a small digital clock that shows the current time on the LCD display. Use the PS2 joystick to adjust the time.

Common mistakes

• Fail to connect the data line of the display correctly.
• Forget to upload the Arduino sketch.
• Use an inadequate voltage to power the kit (check the datasheet).
• Omit to connect the GND and VCC pins of the PS2 joystick.

Recommended accessories

• USB B – A cable
• 9V battery for Arduino
• 3D printed case for Arduino Uno
