Tutorial: How to use KY-023 XY Axis Joystick

The KY-023 XY Axis Joystick is an ideal component for controlling position on two axes. Useful for user interface and game projects.

What you need

• KY-023 XY Axis Joystick
• Arduino
• Power cable
• 10kΩ resistor

Steps

1. 1. Connect the Joystick to the Arduino using the following pins: VCC to 5V, GND to GND, OUT1 to pin A0, OUT2 to pin A1.
2. 2. Connect a 10kΩ resistor between VCC and GND to stabilize the signal.
3. 3. Load the following code onto your Arduino.
4. 4. Check the joystick position using the serial console.
5. 5. Refer to the datasheet for further details on operation.
6. 6. Try moving the joystick and observe the values changing.
7. 7. Use the values to control a servo or another component.
8. 8. Test the joystick at various angles of movement.

Example code

```void loop() {  int x = analogRead(A0);  int y = analogRead(A1);  Serial.print("X: ");  Serial.print(x);  Serial.print(" Y: ");  Serial.println(y);  delay(100);} ```

Mini project

Create a control for a servo using the joystick values.

Common mistakes

• Connect the Joystick directly to VCC without a resistor.
• Do not use an appropriate resistor.
• Do not check the joystick position.
• Omit checking the datasheet.

Recommended accessories

• Servo
• LCD Display
• Buttons
• Variable Resistors
